"Numeric data not
allowed"
Number received, but
is not allowed
Check Programming Manual for
correct command syntax.
Block data received,
but is not allowed
Check Programming Manual for
correct command syntax.
Command could not
be executed
Command might be inconsistent with
mode of operation, such as
programming frequency when in
DC-Mode.
Command issued but
unit is not in remote
state
Put instrument in remote state before
issuing SCPI commands.
Some commands are supported by
the unit but are locked out for
protection of settings and are not user
accessible.
Problem with trigger
system
Unit could not generate trigger for
transient execution or measurement.
Trigger request has
been ignored
Trigger setup incorrect or unit was not
armed when trigger was received.
Check transient system or
measurement trigger system settings.
Initiation request has
been ignored
Unit was told to go to armed state but
was unable to do so. Could be caused
by incorrect transient system or
measurement acquisition setup.
Incorrect parameter or parameter
value. Check Programming Manual for
allowable parameters.
Requested setting
conflicts with other
settings in effect
Check settings: e.g., changing mode,
AC/DC/AC+DC, is not allowed with
output on; setting voltage is not
allowed if reference is not internal;
setting frequency is not allowed if set
for External SYNC or Clock/Lock.
Parameter data
outside of allowable
range
Check Programming Manual for
allowable parameter values.
More data received
than expected
Check Programming Manual for
number of parameters or data block
size.
"Illegal parameter
value"
Parameter value is not
supported
Check Programming Manual for
correct parameters.
One or more transient
lists programmed has
different length
All lists must be of same length or
transient cannot be compiled and
executed.
No storage space left
to save settings or
data
Delete other settings or data to make
room.
Too many waveform
directory entries
Delete one or more waveforms from
waveform memory to make room.
Waveform requested
not in directory
Check waveform directory for
waveform names present.
