Page 363: C.status Reporting System
If the bit of the service request enable register is “1,” a service request (SRQ) is generated by the positive transition of the corresponding status byte register bit. By generating an SRQ, you can notify the controller that the E4981A is requesting service. In other words, you can program interruption by using an SRQ.
Page 364: Event Register
These bits continuously monitor changes in the E4981A’s state and change the bit status when the condition (e.g., change bit status to “1” if a specific event occurs) for each bit is met. You cannot change the bit status by issuing a SCPI command.
Page 365 Figure C-2 Transition filter and condition register The E4981A's condition register and transition filter work only with the operation status register. However, the E4981A's transition filter’s setting is fixed so that bits 5, 8, 9, 10 of the event register are set to “1” when the condition register makes a positive transition (i.e., changes from 0 to 1) and...

Page 372: Turning Off The Status Reporting System
Turning Off the Status Reporting System Turning Off the Status Reporting System The E4981A status reporting system can be disabled. In a disabled condition, the data in status reporting system is not updated. The benefit of disabling Status Reporting System is that it shortens the End of Measurement (EOM) time.

Page 375: E.error Messages
Manual. Error Messages (Order of Error Number) Error messages are displayed in the lower row of the E4981A’s display. You can read them out by using the SCPI command. This section provides a description of each error message and its remedy.
Page 376 -100 Command error A comprehensive syntax error has occurred for which the E4981A cannot detect further details of the error. This error code simply indicates the occurrence of a command error that is defined in IEEE488.2,11.5.1.1.4.
Page 377 The length of the header exceeds 12 characters. (Refer to IEEE488.2,7.6.1.4.1.) -113 Undefined header A header not defined for the E4981A has been received. For example, “*XYZ”, which is not defined for the E4981A, is received. -114 Header suffix out of range The header suffix is out of range.
Page 378 -128 Numeric data not allowed A numeric value data element (that does not violate the standard) has been received where the E4981A does not accept any numeric value data element. -131 Invalid suffix The suffix does not meet the syntax defined in IEEE488.2,7.7.3.2 or is inappropriate for the E4981A.
Page 379 A trigger command or trigger signal has been received and recognized by the E4981A, but it is ignored due to the timing relationship with the E4981A. For example, this happens when the E4981A’s trigger system is not in the Waiting for Trigger state.
Page 380 -223 Too much data The received block, equation, or string type program data complies with the standard, but the amount of data exceeds the limit that the E4981A can handle due to memory or device-specific conditions related to memory. -224 Illegal parameter value The parameter recieved is not correct.
Page 381: Warning Messages (Warning)
(Refer to IEEE488.2,6.5.7.5.7.) Warning Messages (WARNING) Warning messages are displayed to warn users. They are displayed in the lower row of the display of the E4981A. You cannot read them out using the SCPI command. WARNING: Need corr meas When the OPEN correction, SHORT correction or LOAD correction is ON, this is displayed when you change the setup of the cable length or measurement frequency shift (1 MHz).
Page 382 WARNING: Incompatible state file The setting file recalled from external mass storage device has been saved using an E4981A with a different firmware version or different options. There may be some parameters set up incorrectly. Check the setting. This message may appear due to option mismatch, firmware mismatch, check-sum error or state format mismatch.
