Instrument Errors

221

Settings conflict: calculate limit state forced off

 

If you plan to use scaling on a channel which will also use alarms, be sure

 

to configure the scaling values first. This error is generated if you attempt

 

to assign the alarm limits first and the instrument will turn off alarms

 

and clear the limit values.

222

Settings conflict: module type does not match stored state

 

Before recalling a stored state, the instrument verifies that the same

 

module types are installed in each slot. The instrument has detected a

 

different module type in one or more slots.

223

Settings conflict: trig source changed to IMM

 

This error is generated if you attempt to set the channel advance source

 

(ROUTe:CHAN:ADVance:SOURce command) to the same source used for

 

the scan trigger (TRIGger:SOURce command). The command has been

 

accepted and executed but the scan trigger source is reset to “IMMediate”.

224

Settings conflict: chan adv source changed to IMM

 

This error is generated if you attempt to set the scan trigger source

 

(TRIGger:SOURce command) to the same source used for the channel

 

advance source (ROUTe:CHAN:ADVance:SOURce command).

 

The command has been accepted and executed but the channel advance

 

source is reset to “IMMediate”.

225

Settings conflict: DMM disabled or missing

 

This command is valid only when the internal DMM is installed and

 

enabled. Use the INSTrument:DMM? command to determine the state of

 

the internal DMM. For more information, see “Internal DMM Disable”

 

on page 145.

226

Settings conflict: DMM enabled

 

When the internal DMM is enabled, the ROUTe:CHAN:ADVance:SOURce

 

and ROUTe:CHAN:FWIRe commands are not allowed. Use the

 

INSTrument:DMM? command to determine the state of the internal DMM.

 

For more information, see “Internal DMM Disable” on page 145.

251Unsupported temperature transducer type

An invalid RTD or thermistor type has been specified. The following RTDs are supported: α = 0.00385 (“85”) and α = 0.00391 (“91”).

The following thermistors are supported: 2.2 kΩ (“2252”), 5 kΩ (“5000”),

and 10 kΩ (“10000”). Example: CONF:TEMP RTD,1,(@101)
