B Error Messages
The Keysight E4980A/AL provides error messages to indicate its operating
status. This appendix describes the error messages of the E4980A/AL in
numeric order.
Error Messages
An error message is displayed in the instrument status display area in the
lower-left part of the screen. Pressing any of the front keys other than the
[Local/Lock] key or executing the :DISP:CCL command clears the error
message. Moreover, when a sweep is started again, the display of a particular
error message may disappear. Errors caused by operation of a front panel key
simply appear on the display; with a few exceptions, these are not stored in the
error queue.
In the log of an error message, a maximum 100 pieces are recorded, and it is
possible to go back and check from the oldest error. Executing the :SYST:ERR?
command checks error logs. This operation can be performed only by the
“SCPI” command. It cannot be operated from the front panel.
An error with a positive error number is one uniquely defined for this
instrument. On the other hand, an error with a negative error number is
basically one defined for common GPIB devices in IEEE488.2.
When the error code is displayed on the screen of the instrument, there will be
a letter “E” with error code and error description are displayed.
