"Settings Conflict" Used for Settings Dependencies

122
Description
Generic query error as defined in IEEE 488.2
The instrument has detected an off to on transition in its power
supply.
This event occurs when the instrument detects the activation of a
user request local control.
The instrument has completed all selected pending operations in
accordance with the IEEE 488, 12.5.2 synchronization protocol.
If the queue overflows the last event/error in the queue is replaced
with this error.
As described in 3.21 Working with Setting
serial BERT controller has a number of settings which have a
dependency on another setting.
From the front panel, the user is warned of these restrictions, and is
given the opportunity to clear the conflict and carry out the user's
request. However, the programming interface is not conducive to that
behavior. Instead, the programming interface generates the "Settings
Conflict" SCPI error if the controlling program has requested a value
that cannot be achieved due to other dependent settings. For example,
if the controlling program enables both SJ1 and SJ2, sets SJ1 to 0.4 UI,
and then attempts to set SJ2 to 0.7 UI, the "Settings Conflict" error
message will be generated.
The one exception to this rule is the relationship between PJ Frequency
and PJ Amplitude. The PJ Amplitude is a function of the PJ Frequency.
If the controlling program attempts to change the PJ Frequency such
that it is incompatible with the current PJ Amplitude, the N4960A serial
BERT controller will respond with a AMPL_LIMIT_WARN instrument
non-fatal error message (see
requested and set the PJ Amplitude to within valid range.
Dependencies, the N4960A
Table 22), but will grant the PJ Frequency
