Instrument Errors

 

111

Channel list: slot number out of range

 

 

The specified slot number is invalid. The channel number has the

 

 

form (@scc), where s is the slot number (100, 200, or 300) and cc is the

 

 

channel number. Example: CONF:VOLT:DC (@404)

 

112

Channel list: channel number out of range

 

 

The specified channel number is invalid for the module in the selected slot.

 

 

The channel number has the form (@scc), where s is the slot number

 

 

(100, 200, or 300) and cc is the channel number.

 

 

Example: ROUT:CLOSE (@134)

 

113

Channel list: empty scan list

 

 

Before you can initiate a scan, you must set up a scan list which includes

 

 

all configured multiplexer or digital channels in the instrument. Use the

 

 

MEASure?, CONFigure, or ROUTe:SCAN commands to set up your scan list.

 

201

Memory lost: stored state

 

 

This error is reported at power-on to indicate that a stored state has

 

 

become unusable. This error is most likely caused by a dead battery

 

 

(memory is battery-backed).Refer to the 34970A Service Guide to replace

 

 

the internal battery.

 

202

Memory lost: power-on state

 

 

 

This error is reported at power-on to indicate that the power-down state

 

 

of the instrument (normally recalled when power is turned on) has become

 

 

unusable. This error is most likely caused by a dead battery (memory is

6

 

battery-backed).Refer to the 34970A Service Guide to replace the

 

internal battery.

 

 

 

203

Memory lost: stored readings

 

 

This error is reported at power-on to indicate that readings stored in

 

 

memory from a previous scan have been lost. This error is most likely

 

 

caused by a dead battery (memory is battery-backed). Refer to the

 

 

34970A Service Guide to replace the internal battery.

 

204

Memory lost: time and date

 

 

This error is reported at power-on to indicate that the time and date

 

 

settings have been lost (they are reset to JAN 1, 1996 00:00:00).

 

 

This error is most likely caused by a dead battery (memory is

 

 

battery-backed).Refer to the 34970A Service Guide to replace the

 

 

internal battery.
