ON again). If this error persists after rebooting the 4287A, or occurs frequently, the 4287A is at fault and needs repair. Contact the Agilent Technologies sales office or the company you purchased this instrument. NOTE This is a special error that occurs at the startup of the 4287A.
Page 321 Error Messages Additional standards needed Additional standards needed Before the completion of all of the data measurement required for calculating the calibration/compensation coefficients, a GPIB command requiring any of the measurement data was sent. For example, when only the OPEN and SHORT measurements of the calibration kit have been complete, the :CORR1:COLL:SAVE command, which performs calculation of the calibration coefficients, was sent.
Page 322 Error Messages Data corrupt or stale -230 Data corrupt or stale The data may be invalid or a newly initiated read operation has not been completed since the latest access. -222 Data out of range A data element (that did not violate the standard) out of the defined range of the 4287A was received.
Page 323 Error Messages Illegal parameter value -224 Illegal parameter value The value of the parameter is illegal. -213 Init ignored Another measurement was being executed and the measurement start request (:INIT command) was ignored. -161 Invalid block data Block data was expected but the sent block data was invalid for some reasons. (Refer to IEEE488.2,7.7.6.2.) For example, the END message was received before the length of the block data was reached.
Page 324 If you entered the external reference signal, check to see if it is correct. If you entered the correct signal or you did not enter it, the instrument needs adjustment or repair. Contact your local Agilent Technologies sales office or the company you purchased this instrument from.
