A List of Errors

Command errors

An error in the range [ -199, -100 ] indicates that an IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the instrument’s parser. The occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the Command Error (bit 5) in the event status register to be set.

 

Error code		Error message description
-100	Command error	This is the generic syntax error.
-101	Invalid character	A syntactic element contains a character that is invalid for that type.
-102	Syntax error	An unrecognized command or data type was encountered.
-103	Invalid separator	The parser was expecting a separator and encountered an illegal character.
-104	Data type error	The parser recognized a data element different than one allowed.
-105	GET not allowed	A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program message.
-108	Parameter not allowed	More parameters were received than expected for the header.
-109	Missing parameter	Fewer parameters were recieved than required for the header.
-110	Command header error	An error was detected in the header.
-113	Undefined header	The header is undefined for this device.
-120	Numeric data error	This error is generated when parsing a data element that appears to be numeric, including the nondecimal numeric types.
-130	Suffix error	This error is generated when parsing a suffix.
-131	Invalid suffix	The suffix does not follow the syntax or the suffix is inappropriate for this device.
-134	Suffix too long	The suffix contained more than 12 characters.
-138	Suffix not allowed	A suffix was encountered after a numeric element which does not allow suffixes.
-140	Character data error	This error is generated when parsing a character data element.
-141	Invalid character data	Either the character data element contains an invalid character or the particular element received is not valid for the header.
-144	Character data too long	The character data element contains more than twelve characters.
-148	Character data not allowed	A legal character data element was encountered where prohibited by the device.
-150	String data error	This error is generated when parsing a string data element.
-160	Block data error	This error is generated when parsing a block data element.
-170	Expression error	This error is generated when parsing an expression data element.
-180	Macro error	This error is generated when defining a macro or executing a macro.

Execution errors

An error in the range [-299, -200] indicates that an error has been detected by the instrument’s execution control block. The occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the Execution Error (bit 4) in the event status register to be set.

 

Error code		Error message description
-200	Execution error (generic)	This is the generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors.
-203	Command protected	Indicates that a legal password-protected program command or query could not be executed because the command was disabled.
-210	Trigger error	Trigger error.
-211	Trigger ignored	Indicates that a GET, *TRG, or triggering signal was received and recognized by the device but was ignored because of device timing considerations.
-213	Init ignored	Indicates that a request for a measurement initiation was ignored as another measurement was already in progress.
-214	Trigger deadlock	Indicates that the trigger source for the initiation of a measurement is set to GET and a subsequent measurement query was received.
-220	Parameter error	Indicates that a program data element related error occurred.
-221	Settings conflict	Indicates that a legal program data element was parsed but could not be executed due to the current device state.
-222	Data out of range	Indicates that a legal program data element was parsed but could not be executed because the interpreted value was outside the legal range as defined by the device.
-223	Too much data	Indicates that a legal program data element of block, expression, or string type was received that contained more data than the device could handle due to memory or related device-specific requirements.
-224	Illegal parameter value	Used where an exact value, from a list of possible values, was expected.
-230	Data corrupt or stale	Possibly invalid data; new reading started but not completed since last access.
-241	Hardware missing	Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because of missing device hardware.

Device-specific errors

The occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the Device Dependent Error (bit 3) in the event status register to be set.

 

Error code		Error message description
-350	Queue overflow	A specific code entered into the queue in lieu of the code that caused the error. This code indicates that there is no room in the queue and an error occurred but was not recorded.
-360	Communication error	Communication error when the flow control is turned off. This error applies when the RS232C interface is used.
-362	Framing error in program message	Framing error. This error applies when the RS232C interface is used.
-363	Input buffer overrun	Buffer overrun error. This error applies when the RS232C interface is used.
-364	Time out error	Time out error. This error applies when the RS232C interface is used.

Query errors

An error 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 shall cause the Query Error (bit 2) in the event status register to be set.

 

Error code		Error message description
-400	Query error (generic)	This is the generic query error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors.
-410	Query INTERRUPTED	Received a new command before the response was read.
-420	Query UNTERMINATED	The controller attempted to read the response after the device received an unsupported query or has not received a query. The -100 "COMMAND ERROR" error and this error are stored in the error queue. The controller will time out.
-430	Query DEADLOCKED	The error queue, input buffer, and output buffer are full when sending large binary data as a response, and the transmission timing is off.
-440	Query UNTERMINATED after indefinite response	Received a separate query in semicolon-delimited format after a query that returns a response in an indefinite form. (Example: A command such as the following. *IDN?;SYST:ERR?)

Device-dependent errors

The occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the Device Dependent Error (bit 3) in the event status register to be set.

 

Error code		Error message description
103	Operation denied while in PROTection state	The operation was denied because a protection function has been activated.
141	CURR setting conflicts with CURR:PROT setting	The set current conflicts with the set OCP.
142	CURR:PROT setting conflicts with CURR setting	The set OCP conflicts with the set current.
151	VOLT setting conflicts with VOLT:PROT setting	The set voltage conflicts with the set OVP.
152	VOLT:PROT setting conflicts with VOLT setting	The set OVP conflicts with the set voltage.
153	VOLT setting conflicts with VOLT:LIM:LOW setting	The set voltage conflicts with the set UVP.
154	VOLT:LIM:LOW setting conflicts with VOLT setting	The set UVP conflicts with the set voltage.
155	Operation denied during ALARM condition	The operation was denied because an alarm is occurring on the PWX.
901	EEPROM content error for CRITICAL data	An error has occurred in a critical area. Contact your Kikusui agent or distributor.
902	EEPROM content error for CAL data	An error has occurred in a calibration area. Contact your Kikusui agent or distributor.
903	EEPROM content error for CONFIG data	An error has occurred in the configuration area. The PWX will be reset to its factory default settings. This error occurring multiple times indicates that the memory is damaged. Contact your Kikusui agent or distributor.
904	EEPROM content error for PANEL data	An error has occurred in the panel memory area. The PWX will be reset to its factory default settings. This error occurring multiple times indicates that the memory is damaged. Contact your Kikusui agent or distributor.
