Power Module Hardware Error Messages

Front panel error messages resulting from selftest errors or runtime failures are described in the power module User’s Guide.

System Error Messages

System error messages are read back via the SYST:ERR? query. The error number is the value placed in the power module error queue. SYST:ERR? returns the error number into a variable and combines the number and the error message into a string. Table 6-1 lists the system errors that are associated with SCPI syntax errors and interface problems. Information inside the brackets is not part of the standard error message, but is included for clarification. When system errors occur, the Standard Event Status register (see "Chapter 4 - Status Reporting") records them as follows:

Table 6-1. Summary of System Error Messages

Error String [Description/Explanation/Examples]

Command error [generic] Invalid character

Syntax error [unrecognized command or data type] Invalid separator

Data type error [e.g., “numeric or string expected, got block date”] GET not allowed

Parameter not allowed [too many parameters] Missing parameter [too few parameters]

Program mnemonic too long [maximum 12 characters] Undefined header [operation not allowed for this device] Invalid character in number [includes "9" in octal data, etc.] Numeric overflow [exponent too large; exponent magnitude >32 k] Too many digits [number too long; more than 255 digits received] Numeric data not allowed

Invalid suffix [unrecognized units, or units not appropriate] Suffix not allowed

Invalid character data [bad character, or unrecognized] Character data not allowed

String data error

Invalid string data [e.g., END received before close quote] String data not allowed

Invalid block data [e.g., END received before length satisfied] Block data not allowed

Execution error [generic] Parameter error
