Manual

-222 Data out of range – The parameter exceeds the absolute limits

4.10.5.3 Device-Specific Errors

An error specific to the device occurred. The DDE bit (bit 3) of the Standard Event Status Register is

set.

Code Description

-315 Configuration memory lost – Device memory has been lost. Check the back-up battery

-330 Self-test failed

-350 Queue overflow – Error codes have been lost due to more than 10 errors being reported

without being read

4.10.5.4 Query Errors

A query error indicates that the output queue control has detected a problem. This could occur if either

an attempt was made to read data from the instrument if none was available, or when data were lost.

Data could be lost when a query causes data to be formatted for the controller to be read, and the

controller sends more commands without reading the data.

Code Description

-410 Query INTERRUPTED – Data were sent before the entire response of a previous query

was read

-420 Query UNTERMINATED – An attempt was made to read a response before the

complete program message meant to generate that response was sent

-430 Query DEADLOCKED – The input buffer and output queue are full, and the controller

is attempting to send more data. In this case the output queue and input buffers will be

cleared. Parsing will resume after the END message is detected

-440 Query UNTERMINATED after indefinite response – A query was received in the same

program message after a query requiring an indefinite response was formatted.

Essentially this means that the *IDN? common query and the :ARB:DATA? query

should not be followed by more query messages in the same program message

4.10.5.5 System Events

System events have positive valued codes. They are not defined by SCPI, but are specific to the pulse

generator.

Code Description

401 Power on

402 Operation complete – The *OPC command as been executed

Warnings

The execution of some commands might cause an undesirable instrument state. The commands are executed,

but a warning is issued. Sending the :STATus:PRESet command disables reporting of warnings. The

existence of these conditions causes a bit in the Status Questionable Condition register to be set.

For Model 4033

500 Trigger rate short

510 Output overload
