Detecting calibration errors
If an error occurs during any calibration step, the Model 2410 will generate an appropriate
error message. Several methods to detect calibration errors are discussed below.
Reading the error queue
As with other Model 2410 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-4 summarizes calibration errors. These errors will occur under the following
conditions.
Error 500/501 Th
ese errors occur if you do not set the calibration date or calibration
due date.
Error 502 Th
is error will occur when the :CAL:PROT:SENS or
:CAL:PROT:SOUR command is sent with a parameter that cannot be
placed into any of the defined numeric ranges.
Error 503/504 Th
is error occurs when the source/compliance DAC calibration con-
stants generate an invalid DAC setting. All of the source/compliance
DAC c
alibration constants are verified each time a :CAL:PROT:SOUR
command is processed and when the Model 2410 is first turned on. This
error generally occurs when the Model 2410 source circuitry is defec-
tive.
Error 505 T
his error occurs when a :CAL:PROT:SOUR command generates an in-
valid source offset calibration constant.
Error 506 T
his error occurs when a :CAL:PROT:SOUR command generates an in-
valid source gain calibration constant.
Error 507 T
his error occurs when a :CAL:PROT:SENS command generates an in-
valid measurement offset calibration constant.
Error 508 T
his error occurs when a :CAL:PROT:SENS command generates an in-
valid measurement gain calibration constant.
