ERROR MESSAGES AND COMMANDS
If an error occurs, a message is placed in the SCPI error buffer. The message will contain a number, a comma (,) and a brief
description of the error. Negative () numbers are used for SCPI defined messages while positive (+) numbers relate
specifically to the meter.
Each time the buffer is read, the next error message is returned and then removed from the SCPI buffer. If no error exists, the
message “0, No error” will be returned.
There are certain error status bits that will set in the STANDARD EVENT register. These bits provide general error
indications. The error message will provide more detailed information about the errors.
The SCPI error buffer can be read and cleared with the following commands:
:SYSTem:ERRor?
Returns the next error message and removes it from the SCPI error buffer.
:SYSTem:CLEar
Removes all messages from the SCPI error buffer.
If the meter detects an error in the command
string (a spelling error, a command that is not
supported or a numerical value that is
incorrect),
the meter will not execute the
command. If the error is detected in the middle
of a multiple command string, the command
that contains the error and all commands that
follow will not be executed. The user’s
program should always check the STATUS
BYTE to determine if an error has occurred.
