Chapter 5 Errors
Error Types
Error Types
Error numbers are categorized by type as shown in Table 5-1.
Each and every error is listed in Table 5-2.
Table 5-1. Error Types
Error Number
+0
100 to 199
200 to 299
300 to 350
400 to 499
+2000 to +2013
The first error described in each class (for example, -100, -200, -300,
-400) is a "generic" error.
No Error
The :SYST:ERR? response +0, "No error" indicates that the Counter has no
errors. The error queue is empty when every error in the queue has been read
(:SYST:ERR? query) or the queue was cleared by power-on or *CLS.
Command Error
An <error number> in the range [ 100 to 199] indicates that an IEEE 488.2
syntax error has been detected by the Counter' s parser. The occurrence of any
error in this class causes the command error bit (bit 5) in the Event Status Register
to be set. One of the following events has occurred:
An IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the parser.
That is, a controller-to-Counter message was received that is in violation of
the IEEE 488.2 Standard. Possible violations include a data element that
violates the Counter listening formats or whose type is unacceptable to the
Counter.
An unrecognized header was received. Unrecognized headers include incorrect
Counter-specific headers and incorrect or unimplemented IEEE 488.2
Common Commands.
A Group Execute Trigger (GET) was entered into the input buffer inside of an
IEEE 488.2 program message.
