System-Related Operations

Error Conditions

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 errors can be stored in the power supply’s error queue. See chapter 5 “Error Messages”, starting on page 123 for a complete listing of the errors.

•Errors are retrieved in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order. The first error returned is the first error that was stored. Errors are cleared as you read them over the remote interface. When you have read all errors from the queue, the ERROR annunciator turns off. The power supply beeps once each time an error is generated.

•If more than 20 errors have occurred when you operate the power supply over the remote interface, 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 errors have occurred when you read the error queue, the power 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 does not clear the error queue.

•Front-panel operation:
