ERROR CODES

B.1 Error Codes Returned by SYSTem:ERRor? Query

The following error codes are defined in the SCPI 1993.0 specification, and are
supported by the CW-P Series. Error codes are in the range of [-32768, 32767].
SCPI reserves the negative error codes and 0, while error codes greater than 0 are
device-specific errors.

Additionally, in multiphase system applications where multiple units are interconnected
for generating polyphase outputs, the error codes will also note which unit of the system
experienced the fault condition. An example is a response to the SYST:ERR?
Command is: , [Fault Condition] ; source #x where x=the unit in
a multiple unit system.
