4.8 Alarm Detection
The following alarm detection function is available to help prevent damage to the 6243/44 as well as the
DUT. When any of these alarm conditions is detected, a message is displayed and output to the GPIB device
event register, error register, measurement data header, etc.
Table 4-14 shows the messages together with their contents and causes.
• When Source 6243/44 Error, Fan Stop, or Over Heat is generated, the output is placed in Standby (out-
put OFF), and operation is not possible until the cause of the error is eliminated.
• When Over Load occurred, the output is placed in Standby.
