ESG-D Series Signal Generator Instrument-Specific Error Messages
Some instrument-specific error messages incorporate the negative or “generic” SCPI error number with the
addition of device-dependent/instrument-specific (ESG-D Series signal generator-specific) information
following the semicolon in the error message.
A positive error number indicates that the instrument has detected an error within the HP-IB system, within
the i
nstrument’s firmware or hardware, during the transfer of block data, or during calibration.
