Condition Messages
Condition messages read out in the STATUS message area in the bottom right
of the display. Condition messages are classified as either “Errors” or
“Warnings.” In the tables in this section, an E in the Error or Warning column
means that an error is put up on the front panel and sent out to SCPI when this
condition is detected. A W in this column means that a Warning is put up on
the front panel, but nothing goes out to SCPI.
For each Condition Messages, there is a corresponding bit in one of the SCPI
status registers. These bits are listed in the tables. Some messages exist ONLY
as status bits; for these messages the Error or Warning column will contain
“status bit only”.
Condition errors 1 to 99, Calibration
These errors correspond to the STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration register.
Since this register is fanned out to three sub-registers, with summary bits in
the main STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration register, each sub-register has its
own range of error numbers.
Condition Errors 6 to 34, Calibration Skipped
This series of errors corresponds to the bits in the
STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration:SKIPped sub-register. The second column
in the table shows the corresponding bit.
An event with the error number shown in the table means the condition has
been detected. When the condition is cleared, an event with the error number
plus 1000 is generated. These error numbers can be seen in the Show Errors
screen, along with the DETECTED and CLEARED indicators.
For example, error 6 indicates that the “RF Alignment being skipped” condition
has been detected, and error 1006 indicates that failure has been cleared.
This register is summarized as bit 11 of the STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration
register. See section “Condition Errors 36 to 64, Calibration Needed or Failed”
on page 124.
