304 M447352-01 REV-A
Number Message String Cause Remedy
-283 “Illegal variable name” Variable name illegal Use ASCII characters only.
-300 “Device specific error”
Hardware related generic
error
Check settings for proper mode or
command sequence: e.g., setting DC
offset is not allowed if the mode is not
AC+DC; setting IEEE-488 address is
not allowed if the option is not installed;
setting the state to on for the 411 option
if the trigger sync source is not set to
internal; changing remote sense is not
allowed if the output is on.
-311 “Memory error” Waveform memory
checksum error
Check for incomplete user-defined
waveform downloads. Check interface
and try downloading the waveform
again. The successful download may
clear this error condition. Alternatively,
use the SCPI command,
TRAC:DEL:ALL, to clear waveform
memory.
-314 “Save/recall memory lost” User setup register
contents lost
Save the setup again in the same
registers to restore content.
-315 “Configuration memory lost” Hardware configuration
settings lost
Contact AMETEK Service Department
to obtain instructions on restoring
configuration data.
-330 “Self-test failed” Internal error Contact AMETEK Service Department
to troubleshoot the problem.
-350 “Queue overflow” Message queue full Read status using SYST:ERR query
until 0; “No Error” is received indicating
queue empty.
-400 “Query error” Unable to complete query.
Check the Programming Manual for the
correct query format and parameters
-410 “Query INTERRUPTED”
Query issued but response
not read
Check the application program for
correct flow. The response must be
read after each query to avoid this error.
-420 “Query UNTERMINATED” Query incomplete Check for terminator after query
command.
-430 “Query DEADLOCKED” The query cannot be
completed
Check the application program for
multiple queries.
-440 “Query UNTERMINATED” Query incomplete. Check for terminator after query
command.
1 “Output volt fault” The output voltage does not
match the programmed
value
Reduce load or increase current
setpoint. Also, the output voltage might
be driven above the programmed
voltage by external influence (load
voltage kickback, etc.).
2 “Current limit fault” Current-limit exceeded Load exceeds current-limit (CL)
programmed value; reduce the load or
increase CL setting. Change to
constant-current mode (CC).
4 “External sync. Error” Could not sync to external
sync signal
External sync signal missing,
disconnected, or out of range.
5 “Initial memory lost” Power-on settings could not
be recalled.
Save power-on settings again to
overwrite old content.
