Query

The *IDN? command must be the last query command within a

 

UNTERMINATED

command string. Example: *IDN?;:SYST:VERS?

1000

Illegal when initiated

Many commands are not allowed to execute when the instrument is

 

 

busy taking a measurement - this error will occur if that is the case.

 

 

 

1001

Illegal while

Many commands are not allowed to execute when the instrument is in

 

calibrating

calibration mode. This error will occur when that is the case.

 

 

 

1002

Trigger ignored

A valid trigger occurred, but was not expected at that time. Usually,

 

 

because a trigger has already been received for that measurement.

 

 

 

1003

Sample Trigger

This will occur if the instrument is taking a sample and a SAMPle:IMM

 

ignored

command is received during the previous sample period.

 

 

 

1004

Insufficient data for

This error will occur if you try to fetch readings, but have not initiated a

 

query

measurement, so no data is available.

 

 

 

1005

Invalid channel

This error usually is the result of trying to specify channels 3 or 4 for a

 

number

command sent to the E1563A (which only has two channels).

 

 

 

1006

Invalid channel range

During data fetching, a channel range may be specified (e.g., (@1:4)).

 

 

A bad range could result by specifying (@1:5) since there is no

 

 

channel 5, or (@1:4) on a two-channel card like the E1563A, or a

 

 

descending range such as (@3:1).

 

 

 

1007

Error in CAL

An error occurred while trying to perform the calibration command

 

 

specified.

 

 

 

1008

Data fetch timed out

Data fetch timed out waiting for trigger. It is allowable to ask for data

 

waiting for trigger

immediately after the INIT command. This error will occur if you ask for

 

 

data early, and the trigger that initiates the measurement has not been

 

 

received within the time period specified by the VISA timeout setting.

viMoveIn16 failed

 

 

 

 

1010

Self test failed

The abbreviated power on self test failed. A more thorough *TST self

 

 

test should be run for more specific information.

VISA error

An unknown error occurred in the VISA I/O library.

1013

Insufficient memory

The controller did not have enough memory for the command to

 

for cal; try smaller

complete, so try specifying a smaller sample size for the calibration

 

sample size

command that caused the error.

 

 

 

1014

Memory malloc failed;

The controller did not have sufficient RAM for the command to

 

insufficient memory

execute.
