9 List of Error Messages
The following list contains the error messages for errors occurring in the instrument. The meaning of
negative error codes is defined in SCPI, positive error codes mark errors specific of the instrument.
Error messages are entered in the error/event queue of the status reporting system in the remote
control mode and can be queried with the command
SYSTem:ERRor?
. The answer format of FSE to
the command is as follows:
<error code>, "<error text with queue query>; <remote control command concerned>"
The indication of the remote control command with prefixed semicolon is optional.
Example:
The command "
TEST:COMMAND
" generates the following answer to the query
SYSTem:ERRor? :
-113,"Undefined header;TEST:COMMAND"
The table contains the error code in the left-hand column. In the right-hand column the error text being
entered into the error/event queue or being displayed is printed in bold face. Below the error text, there
is an explanation as to the respective error.
