Error number: 1103
Error Messages
An error message is displayed in the instrument status display area in the lower-left part of
the screen. Pressing the cursor arrow key on the front panel or executing the :DISP:CCL
command clears the error message. Moreover, about a specific error message, when a
sweep is started again, the display of an error message may disappear. Errors caused by
operation of a front panel key simply appear on the display; with a few exceptions, these
are not stored in the error queue.
The log of an error message, a maximum of 100 pieces are recorded, and it can go back and
check from the oldest error. Executing the :SYST:ERR? command checks error logs. This
operation can be performed only by "SCPI" command. It cannot be operated from the front
panel.
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.
