Device-specific Error
Device-specific Error
An error number in the range [399 to 300] or [1 to 32767] indicates that the instrument has detected an
error which is not a command error, a query error, or an execution error; some device operations did not
properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. These codes are also used
for self-test response errors. The occurrence of any error in this class will cause the device-specific error bit
(bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set.
NOTE: For positive error number descriptions see the section titled “ESG-D Series Signal
Generator Instrument-Specific Error Messages.”
The meaning of positive error codes is device-dependent and may be enumerated or bit mapped. The
<error_message> string for positive error codes is not defined by SCPI. The occurrence of any error in this
class will cause the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1)
to be set. Events that generate device-specific errors will not generate command errors, or query errors; see
the other error definitions in this section.
Device-Specific Error Message Descriptions
This section lists the signal generator’s device-specific error messages and their associated descriptions.
Error Number Error Description [description/explanation/examples]
-300
Device-specific error
This is a generic device-dependent error for devices that cannot detect more specific
errors. The code indicates only that a device-dependent error as defined in IEEE 488.2,
11.5.1.1.6 has occurred.
-310
System error
Indicates that an error, termed “system error” by the device, has occurred.
-311
Memory error
Indicates that an error was detected in the device’s memory.
-312
PUD memory lost
Indicates that the protected user data saved by the *PUD command has been lost.
-313
Calibration memory lost
Indicates that non-volatile calibration data has been lost.
