Error Messages
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 R&S
ESR 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 SYS-
Tem:ERRor?
-113,"Undefined header;TEST:COMMAND"
There are two types of error messages:
●
Error messages defined by SCPI are marked by negative error codes. These mes-
sages are defined and described in the SCPI standard and not listet here.
●
Device-specific error messages use positive error codes. These messages are lis-
ted below.
The right-hand column in the following tables contains the error text in bold which is
entered in the error/event queue and can be read out by means of query
SYSTem:ERRor?
. A short explanation of the error cause is given. The left-hand col-
umn contains the associated error code.
Additionally, option-specific warnings and error messages displayed in the status bar
are explained.

Error explanation
1052
Frontend LO is Unlocked
This message is displayed when the phase regulation of the local oscillator fails in the RF
front-end.
1060
Trigger-Block Gate Delay Error- gate length < Gate Delay
This message is displayed when the gate signal length is not sufficient for the pull-in delay
with a predefined gate delay.
1064
Tracking LO is Unlocked
This message is displayed when the phase regulation of the local oscillator fails on the
tracking generator module.
2028
Hardcopy not possible during measurement sequence
This message is displayed when a printout is started during scan sequences that cannot
be interrupted. Such sequences are for example:
●
Recording the system error correction data (alignment)
●
Instrument self test
In such cases synchronization to the end of the scan sequence should be performed prior
to starting the printout.
