Error Messages

When the front-panel ERROR annunciator turns on, one or more command syntax or hardware errors have been detected. A record of up to 20 erros is stored in the power supply’s error queue. The power supply beeps once each time an error is generated.

Errors are retrieved in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order. The first error returned is the first error that was stored. When you have read all errors from the queue, the ERROR annunciator turns off.

If more than 20 errors have occurred, the last error stored in the queue (the most recent error) is replaced with -350, ‘‘Too many errors’’. No additional errors are stored until you remove errors from the queue. If no erros have occurred when you read the error queue, the supply responds with +0, ‘‘No error’’ over the remote interface or ‘‘NO ERRORS’’ from the front panel.

The error queue is cleared when power has been off or after a *CLS(clear status) command has been executed. The *RST (reset command) command does not clear the error queue.

Front-panel operation:

If the ERROR annunciator is on, press the Error key repeatedly to read the errors stored in the queue. The error queue is cleared when you read all errors.
