4.2 Decoding the Error Number
You may request a text description of any error number returned by the System 7000. The error codes
returned by the System 7000 are in the range 1-500.
LabVIEW Error Query VI (Most instrument driver VI’s automatically
call this function and return the description as part of the
“error out” indicator.)
Active X GetErrorMessage
() method
Low-level Get Error Message from Error Code command.
4.3 Querying System Status
Status information may be queried at a system level or at a card level. It is possible to adversely affect the
performance of the system by too frequent status queries when scanning is active.
The system status information includes
system state (i.e. idle, armed, scanning, …),
error state (inactive or active),
last error code,
The card status information includes
card state (i.e. idle, armed, scanning, …),
error state (inactive or active),
last error code,
low disk space,
limit latched,
limit asserted,
channel offscale+ status,
channel offscale- status,
channel calibration status.

4.4 Monitoring the Event/Status UDP Port
The System 7000 Event Interface is implemented as a multicast server which provides messages from the
System 7000 Control Module to any connected multicast clients. Typically these messages contain status
and error information. For example a status message will be broadcast when the scanner changes state
from armed to scanning. Or a message will be broadcast when an error condition is detected.
