0

NO ERROR

Indicates there are no errors.

1

INVALID CHAR

You sent the supply a character it did not recognize.

2

INVALID NUM

The format of your number is incorrect. Check syntax (see Chapter 5).

3 or 28

INVALID STR

You sent a command the supply does not understand. Resend a recognizable

 

 

command.

4

SYNTAX ERROR

(see Chapter 5).

5

NUMBER RANGE

An out of range number was sent. Send a new number within the legal range.

6

NO QUERY

The computer addressed the supply to talk, but it did not first request data. Send

 

 

query first and then address the supply to talk.

7

DISP LENGTH

Quoted string in the DSP command exceeds the display length of 12 characters.

8

BUFFER FULL

May occur if too many numbers are sent. Error code 4 or error code 5 are more

 

 

likely to occur for this condition.

9

EEPROM ERROR

The EEPROM on the HP-IB board is not responding correctly to programming

 

 

commands. An instrument failure has occurred and service is required. Refer to

 

 

the Troubleshooting Section in the Service Manual.

10

HARDWARE ERR

An output error has occurred on an unknown output. Service is required. Refer

 

 

to the Troubleshooting Section in the Service Manual.

11HDW ERR CH 1 Error codes 11 through 14 refer to a specific output where an output error has occurred. Service is required. Refer to the Output Board Troubleshooting section in the Service Manual.

12

HDW ERR CH 2

Same as in error 11.

13

HDW ERR CH 3

Same as in error 11.

14

HDW ERR CH 4

Same as in error 11.

15

NO MODEL NUM

The supply's model number cannot be found. The HP-IB Interface board may be

 

 

defective or the supply may require reprogramming. Refer to the

 

 

Troubleshooting section of the Service Manual.

16

CAL ERROR

An error has occurred during calibration. This may be the result of out of range

 

 

numbers sent. If recalibration (See Appendix A) does not fix this there may be a

 

 

hardware failure (Refer to the Troubleshooting Section in the Service Manual).
