7.1.3. Percent Response Records
The MCB API responds to all commands with a percent response record that signifies the com-
pletion of the command. Percent response records contain two error code numbers and a 1-byte
checksum as follows:
%aaabbbccc<CR>
where % represents the ASCII % character,
aaa
represents the macro error code,
bbb
represents
the micro error code,
ccc
represents the checksum and <CR> represents the ASCII carriage
return character signifying the end of the record. The macro error code represents the general
class of error with 0 meaning no error, and the micro error code represents the sub-class of error
with 0 meaning no error. Following is a list of all percent responses for the DSPEC 50.
Unconditional Success:
%000000069<CR>
No errors detected. Command executed as specified.
%000005074<CR>
Device already started or stopped. The START or STOP
command was ignored.
%000006075<CR>
Device preset already exceeded. The START command was
ignored.
%000016076<CR>
START requested but amplifier not pole zeroed since last power-
up. START was attempted anyway.
%000032074<CR>
START requested but high voltage not enabled START was
attempted anyway.
%000064079<CR>
