-199 to -100: Command Errors

ESG Family Signal Generators

Syntax error

An unrecognized command or data type was encountered. For example, a string was received when the device does not accept strings.

-101Invalid character

A syntactic command contains a character that is invalid for that type. For example, a header containing an ampersand, SETUP&. This error might be used in place of error numbers -114, -121, -141 and some others.

-100Command error; Unable to set new frequency with UP/DN command.

The instrument is unable to obtain the necessary information to calculate the new frequency in compatibility mode with the UP/DN command.

Command error; Unable to set new amplitude with UP/DN command.

The instrument is unable to obtain the necessary information to calculate the new amplitude in compatibility mode with the UP/DN command.

Command error; Remote active function IS not available.

The instrument only supports the Increment Set (IS) command for Frequency (FR) and Amplitude (AP) in compatibility mode. All other uses of IS are invalid.

Command error; R0:No standby mode allowed.

In 8656/57 compatibility mode, R0 was received via GPIB. This command is not supported by the compatibility mode.

Command error; Remote active function DN/UP not available.

In 8656/57 compatibility mode, either DN or UP was received via GPIB. These commands are not supported by the compatibility mode.

Command error; LO: No low bandwidth ALC mode allowed.

In 8656/57 compatibility mode, LO was received via GPIB. This command is not supported by the compatibility mode.

Command error

This is a generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors. The code indicates only that a command error as defined in IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.4 has occurred.
