User Manual 3162A/B
SCPI Command Reference 4-24
could not be used because its value is outside the valid range defined by the
generator.
-224,”Illegal parameter value”. A discrete parameter was received which was
not a valid choice for the command. An invalid parameter choice may have
been used.
-300,”Device-specific-error”. This is the generic device-dependent error for the
instrument when it cannot detect more specific errors. A device- specific error
as defined in IEEE-488.2 has occurred.
-311,”Memory error”. Indicates that an error was detected in the instrument’s
memory.
-350,”Queue Oveflow”. The error queue is full because more than 30 errors have
occurred. No additional errors are stored until the errors from the queue are
removed. The error queue is cleared when power has been shut off, or after a
*CLS command has been executed.
-410,”Query INTERRUPTED”. A command was received which sends data to
the output buffer, but the output buffer contained data from a previous command
(the previous data is not overwritten). The output buffer is cleared when power
is shut off or after a device clear has been executed.
Device-Specific
Commands The Model 3162B conforms to the 1993.0 version of the SCPI standard. Some
of the commands used are not included in the 1993.0 version. However, these
commands are designed with the SCPI standard in mind and they follow all of
the command syntax rules defined by the standard. Table 4-1 lists all device-
specific commands that were designed specifically for the Model 3162B as not
confirmed SCPI 1993.0 commands.
