Error code
Type Description
-213 Init Ignored
EE
An INITiate command was received but could not be executed
because a measurement was already in progress. Send a device clear
to halt a measurement in progress and place the meter in the idle
state.
-214 Trigger deadlock
EE
A trigger deadlock occurs when the trigger source is BUS and a
READ? command is received.
-221 Settings conflict
EE
This error can be generated in one of the following situations:
•
Situation 1: You sent a CONFigure or MEASure command with
autorange enabled and with a fixed resolution.
•
Situation 2: You turned math on and then changed to a math operation
that was not valid with the present measurement function.
•
Situation 3: When the autorange is enabled at the DCI’s and ACI’s 10A
ranges, the error message will be generated.
-222 Data out of range
EE
A numeric parameter value is out of range.
-223 Too much data
EE
A character string was too long.
223 2nd function mismatch
EE
The 1st and 2nd functions mismatch.
-224 Illegal parameter value
EE
A discrete parameter was received that was not a valid choice for the
command.
225 Function/range mismatch
The measurement function and the range specified for the function are
mismatched.
-230 Data Stale
EE
A FETCh? command was received, but the memory was empty.
-350 Too many errors
EE
The error queue is full.
-410 Query INTERRUPTED
EE
A command was received that sends data to the output buffer, but the
output buffer contained data from a previous command.
-420 Query UNTERMINATED
EE
The instrument was addressed to talk (for example, to send data over
the interface), but a command has not been received that will send
data to the output buffer.
-430 Query DEADLOCKED
EE
A command was received that generates too much data to fit in the
output buffer at the same time that the input buffer was full. Command
execution continues, but all data is lost.
-440 Query UNTERMINATED
after indefinite response
EE
The *IDN? command must be the last query command within a
command string.
521 Input buffer overflow
EE
Input buffer overflow.
522 Output buffer overflow
EE
Output buffer overflow.
531 Insufficient memory
EE
There is not enough memory to store the requested number of
readings in internal memory using the INITiate command. The product
of the sample count (SAMPle:COUNt) and the trigger count
(TRIGger:COUNt) must not exceed 2000 readings.
532 Cannot achieve requested
resolution
EE
The instrument cannot achieve the requested measurement resolution.
You may have specified an invalid resolution in the CONFigure or
MEASure command.
540 Cannot use overload as
math reference
EE
The instrument cannot store an overload reading (9.9037) as
the math reference for null or dB measurements. The math state is
turned off as a result of this condition.
550 Command not allowed in
local
EE
The instrument received a READ? command while in the local mode.
601 Front panel does not
respond
ST
The main CPU U1601 attempts to establish serial communications with
the front-panel processor U3. Communication must function in both
directions for this test to pass.
602 RAM read/write failed
ST
This test writes and reads a 55h and AAh checkerboard pattern to
each address of RAM U1701. Any incorrect read back will cause a test
failure. This error is only readable from the remote interface.
