Description

 

 

 

-221

Settings conflict

You tried to set a pretrigger count that exceeds the sample count -1.

 

 

Or, you enabled one of the internal triggers as the source for a

 

 

particular channel such as channel 2 (TRIG:SOUR INT2) and then

 

 

tried to enable one of the limit checking features on channel 2

 

 

(CALC2:LIM:UPP:STAT ON).

 

 

 

-222

Data out of range

A numeric parameter value is outside the valid range for the command.

 

 

Example: digitizer is on the 1V range and you send TRIG:LEV -3

 

 

 

-224

Illegal parameter

A discrete parameter was received which was not a valid choice for

 

value

the command. You may have used an invalid parameter choice.

 

 

Examples: CAL:SOUR TTLT2 (TTLT2 is not a valid choice) or

 

 

SAMP:COUN ON (ON is not a valid choice).

 

 

 

-230

Data corrupt or stale

NOT USED

 

 

 

-231

Data questionable

NOT USED

 

 

 

-240

Hardware error

This can occur if the instrument fails at power on.

 

 

 

-241

Hardware missing

Usually is a result of sending a legal E1564A command to an E1563A.

 

 

An example is CAL:DAC:VOLT, which is only legal for an E1564A.

 

 

 

-300

Device-specific error

NOT USED

 

 

 

-311

Memory error

NOT USED

 

 

 

-312

PUD memory lost

NOT USED

 

 

 

-313

Calibration memory

NOT USED

 

lost

 

 

 

 

-330

Self-test failed

The digitizer's complete self-test failed from the remote interface

 

 

(*TST?). In addition to this error, more specific self-test errors are also

 

 

reported. See also “Self-Test Errors” following this section.

 

 

 

-350

Too many errors

The error queue is full because more than 20 errors have occurred.

 

 

No additional errors are stored until you remove errors from the queue.

 

 

The error queue is cleared when power has been off, or after a *CLS

 

 

(clear status) command has been executed.

 

 

 

-410

Query

A command was received which sends data to the output buffer, but

 

INTERRUPTED

the output buffer contained data from a previous command (the

 

 

previous data is not overwritten). The output buffer is cleared when

 

 

power has been off or after a *RST (reset) has been executed.

 

 

 

-420

Query

The digitizer was addressed to talk (i.e., to send data over the

 

UNTERMINATED

interface) but a command has not been received which sends data

 

 

to the output buffer. For example, you may have executed a

 

 

SAMPle:COUNt <count> (which does not generate data) and then

 

 

attempted an ENTER statement to read data from the remote interface.

 

 

 

-430

Query

A command was received which generates too much data to fit in the

 

DEADLOCKED

output buffer and the input buffer is also full. Command execution

 

 

continues but all data is lost.
