Remote Operation
Query the Unit's Memory Files :MEMory:CATalog?
Returns a comma-separated list of file names.
Example: :MEM:CAT? might return TEST1,TEST2.
Code Description Returned
0 No error
101 Temperature out of range
102 Reference junction temp
out of range
103 Temp out of range for
thermocouple
104 Ref jct out of range for
thermocouple
105 Voltage out of range
106 Output overload
107 Thermocouple invalid for
temperature scale
–100 Command error
–101 Command not allowed in
Standby mode
–315 Nonvolatile memory error
–350 Queue overflow
Query the First Error in the Queue :SYSTem:ERRor?
This command pops the oldest error out of the queue and returns its numeric code as well as
a brief description, separated by a comma. Refer to
Example: :SYST:ERR? might return −100,Command error.
Query All Errors in the Queue :SYSTem:ERRor:ALL?
Example: :SYST:ERR:ALL? might return:
−100, Command error
105,Voltage out of range
etc.
