Error Messages
In the event of a hardware error condition, error messages are displayed on the TEC or LASER
displays. In most cases, the error message appears for three seconds. In the case of multiple error
messages, the Controller will sequentially show each message for three seconds. In addition to the
hardware errors, GPIB errors may be read via the"ERR?" query.
Table 5.4 lists the numerical error ranges by function. Table 5.5 contains all of the potential error
messages. Not all of these messages may appear on the front panel displays; some refer to GPIB
activities only. ;
In remote operation, the errors can be read by issuing the "ERR?" query. When this is done, all of
the error messages which are resident in the error queue are returned (up to 10 may be stored).
Reading the error queue via GPIB clears the error queue.
Note: Errors codes not listed are reserved for future design use.
