If You Have a Problem
Error Codes
225 Send WSV, WSI, or WNX to get sync sweep data.
If you enable data output of the synchronous sweep source, do not
forget to se
t the synchronous sweep source by the WSV, WSI, or WNX
command. For data output, see the FMT command of Programming
Guide.
226 Set linear sweep for MM4 or MM5.
Only the linear sweep is available for the PWV or PWI
command for
the pulsed sweep measurement (MM4) or the WV or WI command for
the staircase sweep with pulsed bias measurement (MM5).
227 Sweep measurement was aborted.
Sweep measurement was aborted by the automatic ab
ort function or the
power compliance.
228 Pulse period is not set for pulse measurements.
230 Pulse source must be set.
To perform the pulsed spot measurement (MM3), send the PV or PI
co
mmand to set the pu
lse source.
231 Compliance must be set correctly.
Compliance was not set or an incorrect compliance value was set in
the
PV, PI, PWV, or PWI command. Set the correct compliance value
effective for the pulse output.
238 Too large pulse width (max. 2 s).
The maximum value of the pulse width is 2 s. And the available value
depends on t
he pulse period value. See the PT command of
Programming Guide.
239 Pulse width must be 0.5 ms or more.
Set the pulse width to 0.5 ms or more. See the PT command of
Programming G
uide.
240 Enter QSV to set QSCV sweep source.
The QSV command must be entered to set the sweep source of the
quasi-s
tatic CV measurement.
241 QSR range value must be -9 to -14.
The ra
nge values available for
the QSR command are -9 to -14. Set
one of the available values.
