Error Conditions
A record of up to 20 command syntax or hardware errors can be stored in
the waveform generator’s error queue. See the Agilent 33500 Series
Programmer’s Reference Help for a complete list of errors.
• Errors are retrieved in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order. The first error
returned is the first error that was stored. Errors are cleared as you
read them. The waveform generator beeps once each time an error
is generated (unless you have disabled the beeper).
• If more than 20 errors have occurred, the last error stored in the
queue (the most recent error) is replaced with “Queue overflow”.
No additional errors are stored until you remove errors from the
queue. If no errors have occurred when you read the error queue,
the waveform generator responds with “No errors in queue”.
• The error queue is cleared by the *CLS (clear status) command or
when the power is cycled. The errors are also cleared when you read
the error queue. The error queue is not cleared by an instrument
reset (*RST command).
• Front-Panel Operation:Press
and Help, and then select the
topic entitled “View the remote command error queue” (topic number
2). Then press the Select softkey to view the errors in the error
queue.
• Remote Interface Operation:
SYSTem:ERRor? Reads and clears one error from the error queue
Errors have the following format (the error string may contain up to
255 characters).
