Page 217: Appendix C. Error Messages
Appendix C. Error Messages Overview Errors are placed in a queue as they are detected. The queue works on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis. If the queue overflows, the last error in the queue is replaced with error –350, “Queue Overflow”. When all errors have been read from the queue, further error queries return 0, “No error”.
Page 218: Command Error List
This is the generic error for the power supply. -203 Command protected Indicates that a legal password-protected program command or query could not be executed because the command was disabled. Check calibration state. Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply...
Page 219: Error Message Description
Error Error Message Description code -220 Parameter error Indicates that a program data element related error occurred. -221 Setting conflict Indicates that a legal program data element was parsed but could not be executed due to the current power supply state. Factors that may contribute to this error are: Remote source - To set most values, the remote source must be correct.
Page 220: Device-Specific Error List
A stop bit was not detected when data was received, e.g. a baud rate mismatch. -363 Input buffer overrun. Software or hardware input buffer on serial port overflows with data caused by improper (or nonexistent) pacing. Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply...
Page 221: Query Error List
Query Error List An error number in the range [-499, -400] indicates that the output queue control of the instrument has detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2, chapter 6. The occurrence of any error in this class causes the query error bit (bit 2) in the Event Status Register to be set.
