Serial Poll Operation

9.2.5
Performing a serial poll will not modify the SCPI Status Byte other than to clear the
RQS (bit 6) for a Asterion DC Power Supply requesting service. Queries affecting the
Status Registers and subsequent serial poll are described below:
•
*ESR? clears the ESR and bit 5 of the SCPI Status Register
•
SYSTem:ERRor? clears bit 2 of the SCPI Status Register if the queue is empty
9-8
Description
Invalid string data
Incorrect password. Manufacturer, model, or serial number string was
more than 16 characters. Invalid mnemonic.
Invalid block data
The expected number of data values was not received.
Execution error
An error/event number in the range [-299, -200] indicates that an error
has been detected by the instruments execution control block. The
occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the execution error bit
(bit 4) in the Event Status Register to be set. An execution error can be
the result of:
• A <program data> element out of range, such as programming 35
volts in a 33-volt device.
• A command could not be executed due to the current condition of the
device.
Command protected
Attempted to store calibration values to EEPROM without unlocking.
Settings conflict
Attempted to set output greater than soft limits or to set soft limits less
than output.
Data out of range
Parameter exceeded range of valid values.
Hardware missing
A legal command or query could not be executed because of a
hardware fault.
Calibration failed
Error during calculation of calibration values occurred.
Queue overflow
The error queue can contain up to 10 entries.
error/event conditions are logged before the SYSTem:ERRor? query,
an overflow will occur; the last queue entry will be overwritten with error
-350. When the queue overflows, the least recent error/events remain
in the queue and the most recent error/events are discarded.
Communication error
Communications to a channel was disrupted.
