Page 135

When a checksum error occurs, you can take either of the following actions:

Choose the interactive softkey that is adjacent to “Reset Memory.” In this case, NVRAM is reset.

Choose the interactive softkey that is adjacent to “Ignore.” In this case, NVRAM is not reset, but the checksum is
recalculated. This allows you to continue using the instrument with the current contents of NVRAM intact, but
you might encounter abnormal instrument operation.

Remote Error Messages

Commands including SCPI, GPIB, or register commands issued to the 2500B may fail to execute. There are several
reasons for the failure, such as wrong command string, wrong number of parameters, invalid parameter values, or
invalid operation mode. This section defines the error codes and error strings for each possible failure. When an error
occurs, the 2500B will queue the errors to an internal event buffer. When using the GPIB interface, a 2500B will send a
service request to the controller, and the controller software is responsible for querying the status message. When using
the RS232 interface, the controller software should poll the 2500B for the error condition. A user can also query the
2500B using the ERR? query (GT12000 language mode) or SYStem:ERR? (SCPI language mode).
The message structure is {error #, 2500B error message}.
The following table describes the 2500B remote error messages.
