GPIB Messages

-430 Query DEADLOCKED

A condition causing a deadlocked query has occurred (for example, both the input and the output buffer are full and the device cannot continue).

-440 Query UNTERMINATED after indefinite response

Two queries were received in the same message. The error occurs on the second query if the first requests an indefinite response, and was already executed.

Instrument Specific Errors

These are errors with positive error numbers, and are specific to this instrument.

201

The user calibration is currently on, and calibration data cannot be changed. Switch the user calibration state to off (see ) and try again.

202

There is no user wavelength calibration data, or the data is invalid.

203

Entering the data points cannot be stopped, because it has not been started.

204

There no more data points to be read.
