Error Codes
117001 Enter another label for the switching matrix input port. A is already
used for another port.
117002 Do not use a colon (:) in the label for a switching matrix input port.
117003 Connect the switching matrix to use this function. To establish the
GPIB connect
ion, set the GPIB address on the Configuration window’s
Switching Matrix tab, and click the Poll button.
117004 Invalid value A for th
e switching matrix output channel. Value must be
between B and C.
117005 A to B is not a valid range for the switching matrix output channels. Use
positiv
e integers, with the first value no greater than the second.
117006 Switching matrix close error. Enter odd numbers to specify output
channels connected to cou
ple input port A.
117007 Switching matrix open error. Enter odd numbers to specify output
channels connected to cou
ple input port A.
117008 Switching matrix input port A is a couple input port. E
nter A-1 to
specify the couple port.
117009 swmToModule(A) execution fai
led. Specified port number is out of the
valid range (1 to 14). Otherwise, an invalid resource name has been
defined in the switching matrix input port configuration. Enter the port
number for an input that has a valid resource name.
117010 Switching matrix command execution error. B2200 error code: A
B2200 error message: B
117011 Connected model not supported by EasyEXPERT. Only model A is
supported. C
onnected model: B
117012 Capacitance compensation data file read error. Specif
ied file is either
corrupt, or is not a compensation data file.
117014 Cannot control the switching matrix. It is controlled by the other tool.
120000 Script program execution error.
120001 Duplicated variable name used. Change the name of the variable. In a
s
cript prog
ram, the local variable name must be unique.
120002 Script program execution is aborted. Program execution paused by
clicking the Pau
se button. This is the status message in normal
operation.
