Table 30. Execution Error Codes and Descriptions (cont.) 
Error Code  Error Text  Description 
512  RS-232 fatal error  A fatal error occured opening the serial port. 
513 RS-232 Configuration 
error 
A fatal error occured while configuring the serial port. 
514  Command allowed only 
with RS-232 
Three commands which are only allowed with the 
RS-232/Ethernet interface are SYSTem:LOCal, 
SYSTem:REMote, and SYSTem:RWLock (in Fluke 45 
emulation mode – the commands are LOCS, REMS, RWLS, 
and LWLS.. 
520  Command line too long  The command line exceeded 350 characters. 
521  Input buffer overflow   
522  Output buffer overflow   
531  Insufficient memory  There is not enough memory to store the requested number of 
readings in internal memory using the INITiate command. The 
product of the sample count (SAMPle:COUNt) and the trigger 
count (TRIGger:COUNt) must not exceed 5,000 readings. 
550 Command not allowed 
in local 
The multimeter received a READ? command while in the local 
mode. For RS-232 operation, you should always execute the 
SYSTem:REMote command before sending other commands 
over the interface.
