Trigger deadlock

 

TRIG:SOUR was set to HOLD or BUS and a READ? or MEASure? was

 

attempted, expecting TRIG:SOUR to be set to IMMediate.

-220

Parameter error;Frequency list must be in ascending order.

 

Indicates that the frequencies entered using the

 

MEMory:TABLe:FREQuency command are not in ascending order.

-221

Settings conflict

 

This command occurs under a variety of conflicting conditions. The

 

following list gives a few examples of where this error may occur:

 

•If the READ? parameters do not match the current settings.

 

•If you are in fast mode and attempting to switch on for example,

 

averaging, duty cycle or limits.

 

•Trying to clear a sensor calibration table when none is selected.

-222

Data out of range

 

A numeric parameter value is outside the valid range for the command.

 

For example, SENS:FREQ 2KHZ.

-224

Illegal parameter value

 

A discrete parameter was received which was not a valid choice for the

 

command. You may have used an invalid parameter choice.

 

For example, TRIG:SOUR EXT.

-226

Lists not same length

 

This occurs when SENSe:CORRection:CSET:STATe is set to ON and

 

the frequency and calibration lists do not correspond in length.

-230

Data corrupt or stale

 

This occurs when a FETC? is attempted and either a reset has been

 

received or the power meter state has changed such that the current

 

measurement is invalidated (for example, a change of frequency setting

 

or triggering conditions).

-231

Data questionable;CAL ERROR ChA

 

Power meter calibration failed on channel A. The most likely cause is

 

attempting to calibrate without applying a 1 mW power to the power

 

sensor.
