Tektronix OA 5000 Messages

Status and Events

OA 5000 Series User Manual 3 --- 4 1

Tables3-10 through 3-15 list all the programming interface messages the

OA 5000 generates in response tocommands and queries.

Formost messages, a secondary message from the OA 5000 gives more

detail about the cause ofthe error or the meaning of the message. This

message is part of the message string, and is separated fromthe main

message by a semicolon.

Each message is the result of an event. Each type ofevent sets a specific bit

in the SESR, and is controlledby the equivalent bit in the DESER. Thus,

each message is associated with a specificSESR bit. In the message tables

that follow,the associated SESR bit is specified in the table title, with excep-

tions noted with the errormessage text.

Table3-10 shows the messages when the system has no events or status to

report. These have no associated SESR bit.

Table3-11 shows the error messages generated by improper command

syntax. Check that the command is properlyformed and that it follows the

rules in the Command Syntaxchapter starting on page 3 ---5.
