Introduction
Troubleshooting information includes information on the Keithley Instruments 2600B errors (including
a complete list of error messages) and LAN troubleshooting suggestions.
Error levels
Error messages are listed in Error summary list (on page 6-2). Errors have one of the following
error levels:
The message is information only. This level is used when the error
queue is empty; the message does not represent an error.
The message is information only. This level is used to indicate status
changes; the message does not represent an error.
The error was caused by improper use of the instrument or by
conditions that can be corrected. This message indicates that an
error occurred. The instrument is still operating normally.
There is a condition that prevents the instrument from functioning
properly. The message indicates that the instrument is presently
operating in an error condition. If the condition is corrected, the
instrument returns to normal operation.
There is a condition that cannot be corrected that prevents the
instrument from functioning properly. Disconnect the DUT and turn
the power off and then on again. If the error is a hardware fault that
persists after cycling the power, the instrument must be repaired.
Effects of errors on scripts
Most errors do not abort a running script. The only time a script is aborted is when a Lua runtime error
(error code −286, "TSP runtime error") is detected. Runtime errors are caused by actions such as
trying to index into a variable that is not a table.
Syntax errors (error code −285, "Program syntax") in a script or command prevent execution of the
script or command.
