List
The list of error messages in this chapter lists all of the error messages
associated with sweeper operation. An example of the error format found in
the list of error messages is as follows:
403
-222,“Data
out of range;Test Patch Value Out of Range(403)”
Indicates that user has entered a Self-Test Patch with upper or lower
limit values greater than allowed. All upper and lower limits of these
Self-Test Patches must be with in the range of +32767 to -32768.
The following explains each element of an error message listing
l Manual Error Number
-
The number 403 to the left and in the
parenthesis is called the Manual Error Number. The error ‘message list is
organized in ascending order off the manual error number. The manual
error number will always be found in the parenthesis contained in the
message.
l Error Message
-
The bold text
-222,“Data
out of range;Test Patch Value
Out of Range” is the error message. When the
LMSG)
key is pressed, the
error message is displayed in the leftmost display. The entire message
is returned by the HP-IB query “SYSTem:ERRor?“. The error message
contains the following parts:
q SCPI Error Number
-
The standard SCPI error number (-222 in the
example) usually differs from the manual error number because the
manual error number is unique for every possible message. Standard
SCPI error numbers are always negative (except for 0, “No error”). If
there is no standard SCPI error number for a message, the manual error
number replaces it in the error message.
q SCPI Error Message
-
The SCPI error message is Data out of range in
the example.
q Detailed Description
-
All information after the semicolon
(;)
is a
detailed description of what exactly caused the error. In the example,
Test Patch Value Out of Range tells you that the user has entered a
Self-Test Patch with upper or lower limit values greater than allowed.
If no detailed description exists, it will be omitted from the message.
