Overview
The information contained in the topic tabs above covers all the pro-
gramming interface messages the instrument generates in response to
commands and queries.
For most messages, a secondary message from the instrument gives
more detail about the cause of the error or the meaning of the message.
This message is part of the message string and is separated from the
main message by a semicolon.
Each message is the result of an event. Each type of event sets a specif-
ic bit in the SESR and is controlled by the equivalent bit in the DESER.
Thus, each message is associated with a specific SESR bit. In the mes-
sage tables, the associated SESR bit is specified in the table title, with
exceptions noted with the error message text.
No Event
The following table shows the messages when the system has no events
or status to report. These have no associated SESR bit.
No Event Messages
Code Message
0 No events to report; queue empty
1 No events to report; new events pending *ESR?
Command Error
The following table shows the command error messages generated by
improper syntax. Check that the command is properly formed and that
it follows the rules in the section on command Syntax.
