Model 2100 6 1/2-Digit Resolution Digital Multimeter User’s Manual Section 6: Error Messages
- 151 Invalid string data An invalid character string was received.
- 158 String data not allowed A character string was received but not allowed for the command.
- 160~-168 Block data errors Block data is not acceptable.
- 170~-178 Expression errors The meter does not accept mathematical expressions.
- 211 Trigger ignored A Group Execute Trigger (GET) or *TRG was received but the trigger was
ignored.
- 213 Init Ignored An INITiate command was received but could not be executed because a
measurement was already in progress. Send a device clear (*CLS) to halt
a measurement in progress and place the meter in the "idle" state.
- 214 Trigger deadlock A trigger deadlock occurs when the trigger source is BUS and a READ?
command is received
- 221 Settings conflict This error can be generated in one of the following situations:
Situation 1: You sent a CONFigure or MEASure command with autor-
ange enabled and with a fixed resolution.
Situation 2: You turned Math on and then changed to a math operation
that was not valid with the present measurement function.
- 222 Data out of range A numeric parameter value is out of range.
- 223 Too much data A character string was too long.
- 224 Illegal parameter value A discrete parameter was received that is not a valid choice for the com-
mand.
- 230 Data Stale A FETCh? command was received but the memory was empty.
- 350 Too many errors The error queue is full.
- 410 Query INTERRUPTED A command was received that sends data to the output buffer, but the out-
put buffer contained data from a previous command.
- 420 Query
UNTERMINATED
The multimeter was addressed to talk (i.e., to send data over the interface)
but a command to send data to the output buffer was not received.
- 430 Query DEADLOCKED A command was received that generates too much data to fit in the output
buffer, and the input buffer is also full. Command execution continues, but
all data is lost.
- 440 Query
UNTERMINATED after
indefinite response
The *IDN? command must be the last query command within a command
string.
521 Input buffer overflow Too many commands for the input buffer.
522 Output buffer overflow Too much data requested.
