Error Description [description/explanation/examples]
“Execution error”
This is the generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more
specihc errors. This code indicates only that an Execution Error as
defined in IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5 has occurred.
“Invalid while in local”
Indicates that a command is not executable while the device is in
local due to a hard local control. (See IEEE 488.2, 5.6.1.5); for
example, a device with a rotary switch receives a message which
would change the switches state, but the device is in local so the
message cannot be executed.
“Settings lost due to rtl”
Indicates that a setting associated with a hard local control. (See
IEEE 488.2, 5.6.15); was lost when the device changed to LOCS
from REMS or to
LWLS
from RWLS.
“Trigger error”
A trigger error occurred in the signal generator.
“Trigger ignored”
Indicates that a GET,
*TRG,
or triggering signal was received and
recognized by the device but was ignored because of device timing
considerations; for example, the device was not ready to respond.
Note: a DTO device always ignores GET and treats *TRG as a
Command Error.
“Arm ignored”
Indicates that an arming signal was received and recognized by the
device but was ignored.
“Init
ignored”
Indicates that a request for a measurement initiation was ignored
as another measurement was already in progress.
