System; Error Codes And Their Meaning - Hameg HM8134-3 User Manual

Remote Operation
No unit must follow the number, Hz unit is the default one.
The value is rounded to the resolution.
Sending line (5) and (7) the instrument returns the two fre-
quencies START and STOP. It sends back a string repre-
senting a NR3 decimal number.
:SWEep :TIME <NUM>
:SWEep :TIME?
Sending line (8) the SWEEP TIME can be changed. The
<NUM> parameter is a NR2 number (see paragraph
Syntax conven-tions). No unit must follow the number,
sec. unit is the default one. The value is rounded to the
resolution.
Sending line (9) the instrument returns the SWEEP TIME. It
sends back a string representing a NR2 decimal number.
Example:
:SWE :TIME 5;:FREQ:STAR 16E+6;:FREQ:STOP 1.2E+9;
:FREQ :MODE SWE

6.19 SYSTEM

Syntax:
:SYSTem:ERRor?
Sending this line the instrument returns the current error
code. This code is the first one recorded even if several er-
rors have occured. After sending the error number the in-
strument sets it to zero (it also set it to zero at power on
time). Refer to the table of the error codes.
Notes regarding the syntax
As mentioned in some examples above, in each command
line the first character ":" is optional. In case of successive
commands corresponding to the same tree it is not neces-
sary to repeat all the descriptions of the commands.
Example:
FM:INT:FREQ 9E+3; SHAP SIN; DEV 150E+3; STAT ON
is the same as:
:FM:INT:FREQ 9E+3; :FM:INT:SHAP SIN; :FM:DEV 150E+3;
STAT ON
In fact: FM for the first command indicates that we get into
the FM tree (group) and the following commands, if they
belong to the same group, may be shorter (without repea-
ting all the tree descriptions). If the next command does
not belong to the same tree, it is necessary to specify the
root.
