Appendix C: Error Messages

This appendix gives the error numbers and descriptions that are returned by the AC power
source. Error numbers are returned in two ways:

Error numbers are displayed on the front panel

Error numbers and messages are read back with the “SYSTem:ERRor?” query.
SYSTem:ERRor? returns the error number into a variable and returns two parameters: an
NR1 and a string.

When errors occur, the Standard Event Status register records them as shown in the following
table.

Bit Set

Code Error

5

-100 thru -199

4

Standard Event Status register error bits

The following table lists the errors that are associated with SCPI syntax errors and interface
problems. It also lists the device dependent errors. Information inside the brackets is not part of
the standard error message, but is included for clarification.

Some error messages are maintained for back ward compatibility with Agilent/HP 6834B models.
