Detecting calibration errors
If an error occurs during any calibration step, the Model 2182 will generate an appropriate
error message. Several methods to detect calibration errors are discussed below.
Reading the error queue
As with other Model 2182 errors, any calibration errors will be reported in the error queue.
(You can read the error queue by using the :SYST:ERR? query.)
Error summary
Table B-5 summarizes calibration errors.
