Error Messages
If the last measurement is not valid error -230, “Data corrupt or stale”
occurs. A measurement is valid after it has been initiated. It becomes
invalid when either a reset occurs or any measurement parameter, for
example frequency, is changed.
If the expected value and resolution parameters are not the same as the
current expected value and resolution setting on the specified window,
error -221, “Settings conflict” occurs.
source list This is the channel on which the
command is implemented. If
unspecified the current window
setup is used. However, on the
Agilent E4419B, if the window
shows a ratio or difference
measurement, the upper window
defaults to channel A and the
lower window to channel B.

1. The mnemonic
DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault
parameter used in the command sub-systems. The parameters must be entered in
the specified order. If parameters are omitted, they will default from the right.
The parameter DEFault is used as a place holder. Specifying
DEF leaves the
parameter value unchanged.
2. When the measurement result is linear this parameter represents the number
of significant digits. When the measurement result is logarithmic 1 to 4
represents a resolution of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 respectively.
FETC2:POW:AC? This command queries the lower
window’s measurement result.
