Error Types
Error numbers are categorized by type as shown in Table 5-1. The error
codes that can be generated by the Agilent 53151A/152A/153A Counters
are listed in Table 5-2.
Table 5-1. Error Types
The first error described in each class (for example, -100, -200, -300, -400)
is a “generic” error.
No Error
The :SYST:ERR? response +0, “No error” indicates that there are no
errors in the Counter’s error queue. The error queue is empty when every
error in the queue has been read (:SYST:ERR? query) or the queue was
cleared by power-on or *CLS.
