6: Troubleshooting guide Model 2110 5½ Digit Multimeter
6-4 2110-901-01 Rev. C/August 2013
Error code Type Description
An INITiate command was received but could not be executed
because a measurement was already in progress. Send a device clear
to halt a measurement in progress and place the meter in the idle
A trigger deadlock occurs when the trigger source is BUS and a
READ? command is received.
This error can be generated in one of the following situations:
• Situation 1: You sent a CONFigure or MEASure command with
autorange 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.
• Situation 3: When the autorange is enabled at the DCI’s and ACI’s 10A
ranges, the error message will be generated.
A numeric parameter value is out of range.
A character string was too long.
223 2nd function mismatch
The 1st and 2nd functions mismatch.
-224 Illegal parameter value
A discrete parameter was received that was not a valid choice for the
command.
225 Function/range mismatch The measurement function and the range specified for the function are
A FETCh? command was received, but the memory was empty.
-410 Query INTERRUPTED EE A command was received that sends data to the output buffer, but the
output buffer contained data from a previous command.
-420 Query UNTERMINATED EE The instrument was addressed to talk (for example, to send data over
the interface), but a command has not been received that will send
data to the output buffer.
A command was received that generates too much data to fit in the
output buffer at the same time that the input buffer was 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
522 Output buffer overflow
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 2000 readings.
532 Cannot achieve requested
resolution
The instrument cannot achieve the requested measurement resolution.
You may have specified an invalid resolution in the CONFigure or
540 Cannot use overload as
math reference
EE
The instrument cannot store an overload reading (9.90000000E+37) as
the math reference for null or dB measurements. The math state is
turned off as a result of this condition.
550 Command not allowed in
local
The instrument received a READ? command while in the local mode.

The main CPU U1601 attempts to establish serial communications with
the front-panel processor U3. Communication must function in both
directions for this test to pass.
602 RAM read/write failed
This test writes and reads a 55h and AAh checkerboard pattern to
each address of RAM U1701. Any incorrect read back will cause a test
failure. This error is only readable from the remote interface.
