Error Reporting Commands 6-61
SRS Residual Gas Analyzer
Parameters: This command is a query, and can only have one parameter format:
EM?
Error checking:
The only acceptable parameter is a question mark.
The absence of a parameter (i. e. EM) is treated as a bad-parameter error.
EP?
Description : PS_ERR Byte Query.
Echo: PS_ERR Byte.
Query the value of PS_ERR and update its value after running a fresh check on
the 24V External Power Supply (Bit6 of STATUS and the PS_ERR byte are
updated based on the tests results). The PS_ERR byte value is returned to the
computer in ASCII format and with a <LF><CR> terminator. No errors are
present as long as the byte value is zero.
Consult the Error Byte Definitions section of this chapter for detatils on the
different error bytes of the RGA.
Consult the RGA Troubleshooting chapter of this manual for possible causes and
solutions to any problems reported.
Always try the query a second time before declaring a hardware problem.
Parameters: This command is a query, and can only have one parameter format:
EP?
Error checking:
The only acceptable parameter is a question mark.
The absence of a parameter (i. e. EP) is treated as a bad-parameter error.
EQ?
Description : QMF_ERR Byte Query.
Echo: QMF_ERROR Byte.
Query the value of QMF_ERR and update its value after running a fresh check
on the Quadrupole Mass Filter’’s RF Power Supply (Bit4 of STATUS and the
QMF_ERR byte are updated based on the tests results). The QMF_ERR byte
value is returned to the computer in ASCII format and with a <LF><CR>
terminator. No errors are present as long as the byte value is zero.
