Status Displays and Error Messages

Adjacent to the right alphanumeric displays, the 9216A has three front panel status LEDs
that provide positive indication of commands and communications to help verify opera-
tions during the development of control programs. The ACT LED flashes whenever a
character is received or sent over either interface. The ERR LED flashes when an error
has been detected, such as an illegal command, or parameter out of range. The REM
LED is lit whenever the 9216A is in a remote state (front panel locked out).
The 9216A reports two types of errors that may occur during command execution:
command errors and execution errors. Command errors are errors in the command syn-
tax. For example, unrecognized commands, illegal queries, lack of terminators, and non-
numeric arguments are examples of command errors. Execution errors are errors that
occur during the execution of syntactically correct commands. For example, out of range
parameters and commands that are illegal for a particular mode of operation are classi-
fied as execution errors.
The NO COMMAND bit is a bit in the serial poll register that indicates that there no
commands waiting to be executed in the input queue. This bit is reset when a complete
command is received in the input queue and is set when all of the commands in the
queue have been executed. This bit is useful in determining when all of the commands
sent to the 9216A have been executed. This is convenient because some commands,
