HP-IB Error Messages
Most HP-IB errors occur when the control program attempts to query a measurement that
is not currently available, or tries to access an instrument connected to the external HP-IB
without configuring the Test Set as the System Controller. When diagnosing the cause of
an error condition check for these conditions first.
Refer to "Text Only HP-IB Error Descriptions" on page 320 or "Numbered HP-IB
Error Descriptions" on page 322 for a list of some of the common error messages.
HP-IB error messages take the form:HP-IB Error: -XX Message Text or
HP-IB Error: Message Text
For example:
HP-IB Error: -410 Query INTERRUPTED.
or
HP-IB Error: Input value out of range.
