Error Messages

If an error condition occurs in the signal generator, it is reported to both the front panel display error queue and the SCPI (remote interface) error queue. These two queues are viewed and managed separately; for information on the SCPI error queue, refer to the Programming Guide.

NOTE

When there is an unviewed message in the front panel error queue, the ERR annunciator

 

 

appears on the signal generator’s display.

Error Message File

A complete list of error messages is provided in the file errormesages.pdf, on the CDROM supplied with your instrument.

In the error message list, an explanation is generally included with each error to further clarify its meaning. The error messages are listed numerically. In cases where there are multiple listings for the same error number, the messages are in alphabetical order.
