Instrument errors
Instrument errors are errors that are generated by executing a
command. These errors are detected during the execution of the
command by the instrument. They will be reported in the status
response in the function line. These errors consist of a three-digit
numeric code.
Instrument errors fall into two general categories, recoverable and fatal
errors. When fatal errors occur the instrument will not be able to
continue to do any operation. It will abort any pending operations.
When recoverable error occurs with user interaction instrument will be
able to continue on.
The
status command will return ERRORCODE or FATALCODE.
• Error codes 100–199 ask you to call Tech support.
• Error codes 200–299 are instrument recoverable errors.
• Error codes 300–399 are instrument non-fatal errors.
• Error codes 400–499 are instrument fatal errors.
• Error codes 500–599 are instrument diagnostic errors.
A full list of these errors can be found in Chapter 9: Troubleshooting on
page 197 .
