Error
Number String
-223 "Too much data"
Description:
A function returns more data or the user requests more data than the application is able
to handle.
Example:
A tunable laser source produces more data when lambda values of a sweep are stored
than the 816x instrument is able to handle. Use the new SENSE:FUNC:RES:BLOCK?
command to split the data aquisition into multiple parts.
-224 "Illegal parameter value"
[Used where exact value, from a list of possibles, was expected.]
-225 "Out of memory"
Description:
The request application or function cannot be executed because the instrument runs out
of memory.
-231 "Data questionable (StatValNYetAcc)"
Description:
The data that is retured is not accurate or reliable. The user should repeat the operation.
The reason for this error is unspecific.
Example:
A powermeter configured a long average time has not completed its current measurement
cycle when the user queries the current power.
-231 "Data questionable (StatRangeTooLow)"
Description:
As -231 (StatValNYetAcc) but for a more specific reason: The powermeter readout data is
not reliable because the currently set (manual) range does not correspond with the input
power.
-261 "Math error in expression (StatUnitCalculationError)"
Description:
This may occur when the user attempts to transform data in a way that is currently not
possible.
Example:
When a powermeter is measuring very small power values in dBm (such as noise power),
negative power values in Watt may also be present (such as when the powermeter
calibration wavelength does not correspond to the wavelength of input signal). The
instrument cannot transform negative Watt values to dBm because the logarithm of a
negative value is not defined.
-272 "Macro execution error"
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not beexecuted
due to some error in the macro definition (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3.)]
