Error Messages

Error Messages
An error message is displayed against a red background in the instrument message/warning
area in the lower left part of the screen. Pushing a front panel key or executing :DISP:CCL
command clears the error message. Errors caused by the operation of a front panel key
simply appear on the display. They are not stored in the error queue with some exceptions.
An error with a positive error number is one uniquely defined for this instrument. On the
other hand, an error with a negative error number is basically one defined for common
GPIB devices in IEEE488.2
A
20 Additional standard needed
The GPIB command that turns ON the calibration function has been sent before all of the
data measurements needed to calculate the calibration factor have been completed. For
instance, the "SENS:CORR:COLL:SAVE" command is sent to calculate calibration
coefficients and turn on error correction for 1-Port Calibration when open and short
calibration are completed but load calibration is not completed. Be sure to measure all
necessary calibration data before sending commands. This error is not generated by front
key operations.
B
-168 Block data not allowed
An block-data element has been received at a position where this instrument does not
accept one.
C
240 Calibration data lost
This error occurs when a file containing the system calibration data is not found or in a
damaged state at time of the startup of this instrument, indicating a failure of this
instrument. Contact an Agilent Technology sales office or the company from which you
bought the instrument.
22 Calibration method not selected
This error occurs when the command for validating the calibration,
SENS:CORR:COLL:SAVE, is executed before the command for selecting a calibration
type, SENS:CORR:COLL:METH:xxxx, is executed. This error is not generated by front
key operations.
-148 Character data not allowed
A character data element (not violating the standard) has been received at a position where
this instrument does not accept one. Double quotes (") are omitted where it is necessary to
place a parameter in double quotes ("), for example.
