Cause

 

 

 

-224

Illegal parameter value

Used where exact value, from a list of possible values, was

-230

Data corrupt or stale

expected.

-240

Hardware error

No valid data available. New measurement started but not

 

 

completed.

-241

Hardware missing

Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be

 

 

executed because of a hardware problem in the Counter.

 

 

Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be

-272

Macro execution error

executed because of missing Counter hardware. For example,

 

 

the Channel 3 option was not installed.

-273

Illegal macro label

Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence

 

 

could not be executed due to some error in the macro definition.

 

 

Indicates that the macro label defined in the *DMC command was a

 

 

legal string syntax, but it could not be accepted by the Counter.

-276

Macro recursion error

For example, the label was too long, the same as a common

 

 

command header, or contained invalid header syntax.

 

 

Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence

-277

Macro redefinition not allowed

could not be executed because the Counter found the maximum

 

 

recursion level of four was exceeded.

 

 

Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in the *DMC

-278

Macro header not found

command could not be executed because the macro label was

 

 

already defined (see IEEE 488.2).

 

 

Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in the *GMC? query

-300

Device-specific error

could not be executed because the header was not previously

-310

System error

defined.

-321

Out of memory

This is the generic device-dependent error.

 

 

Indicates that a system error occurred.

 

 

Indicates that the Counter has detected that insufficient memory is

-330

Self-test failed

available. For example, this error will eventually occur on a *DMC,

 

Self-test failed; CPU failure

once the macro memory is filled with previously defined macros.

 

Self-test failed; ROM failure

Indicates at least one failure occurred when *TST? was executed.

 

Self-test failed; RAM failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

Self-test failed; EEPROM failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

Self-test failed; HP-IB failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

Self-test failed; QSPI failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

Self-test failed; FPGA failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

Self-test failed; front-end failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

Self-test failed; measurement

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

 

Self-test failed; interpolator

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

-350

failure

Power-on self test detected this hardware failure.

Queue overflow

 

Indicates that there is no room in the error queue and an error

 

 

 

 

occurred but was not recorded.
