Device-Specific Error; Device-Specific Error Message Descriptions - HP ESG Series User Manual

NOTE:

Device-Specific Error

An error number in the range [-399 to -300] or [1 to 32767] indicates that the
instrument has detected an error which is not a command error, a query error, or
an execution error; some device operations did not properly complete, possibly
due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. These codes are also used for
self-test response errors. The occurrence of any error in this class will cause the
device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section
11.5.1) to be set.
For positive error number descriptions see the section titled "ESG Series Signal
Generator Instrument-Specific Error Messages."
The meaning of positive error codes is device-dependent and may be enumerated
or bit mapped. The <error_message> string for positive error codes is not defined
by SCPI. The occurrence of any error in this class will cause the device-specific
error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set.
Events that generate device-specific errors will not generate command errors, or
query errors; see the other error definitions in this section.

Device-Specific Error Message Descriptions

This section lists the signal generator's device-specific error messages and their
associated descriptions.
Error Number Error Description [description/explanation/examples]
-300
Device-specific error
This is a generic device-dependent error for devices that cannot
detect more specific errors. The code indicates only that a
device-dependent error as defined in IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.6 has
occurred.
-310
System error
Indicates that an error, termed "system error" by the device, has
occurred.
-311
Memory error
Indicates that an error was detected in the device's memory.
