Register-Based
Programming Error
Codes
The error codes related to register-based programming are listed in
Table C-3.
Note
When an error occurs, bit 6 in the Status Register is cleared and an error
code is stored. The error code is placed in the Query Response Register
with the Send Error command. The “Programming Examples” section
shows you how to check for errors and display error codes.
Table C-3. Register-Based Programming Error Codes
Error Code
Cause
00
16
No error has occurred since the last error code was read.
01
16
Unrecognized command opcode.
02
16
A parameter was required but a command was received.
03
16
A parameter is invalid or out of range for the specified command.
04
16
Reading overrun. The data buffer is full and another measurement is taken. This
error also occurs when a new command (opcode) is received while the multimeter
is placing a reading in the data buffer. Trigger Arm is disabled.
05
16
The command or parameter received is not allowed in the two byte reading mode
(10
µ
s aperture time).
0C
16
Command is terminated by another command.
0E
16
The aperture time is longer than the sample rate.
0F
16
Input overload. A potentially damaging voltage has been applied to the
multimeter:
> +- 40V between HI and LO or HI and COMMON with the range <= 8V
> +- 40V between LO and COMMON on any range
Under this condition, the multimeter disconnects itself from the input.
A new range must be specified to restore operation.
