Start-up Error Messages

Start-up errors are most often generated just after the mainframe is powered-up or re-booted (DIAG:BOOT command). If you have an Agilent E1301B, or an Agilent E1300B with a terminal connected to the Display Terminal Interface (built-in RS-232 only), you can read these errors on the front panel or terminal. If you have an Agilent E1300B and no terminal, then you must access this error information by sending the VXI:CONF:DLIS? command over GPIB. We recommend that users of either model include a routine at the beginning if their application program which checks for start-up errors before the program trys to access individual instruments. See your Installation and Getting Started Guide for an example program.
