Table B-2. Multimeter Register-Based Programming Error Codes

Error Code

Cause

 

 

 

 

0016

No error has occurred since the last error code was read.

 

 

0116

Unrecognized command opcode.

 

 

0216

A parameter was required but a command was received.

 

 

0316

A parameter is invalid or out of range for the specified command.

 

 

0416

Reading overrun. The data buffer is full and another measurement is taken.

 

This error also occurs when a new command (opcode) is received while the

 

multimeter is placing a reading in the data buffer. Trigger Arm is disabled.

 

 

0516

The command or parameter received is not allowed in the two byte reading

 

mode (10 μs aperture time).

 

 

0C16

Command is terminated by another command.

 

 

0E16

The aperture time is longer than the sample rate.

 

 

0F16

Input overload. A potentially damaging voltage has been applied to the

 

multimeter:

 

> +- 40V between HI and LO or HI and COMMON with the range <= 8V

 

> +- 40V between LO and COMMON on any range

 

Under this condition, the multimeter disconnects itself from the input.

 

A new range must be specified to restore operation.
