If You Have a Problem
Error Codes
Before triggering the pulsed spot C measurement, send the PDCV
command to set the pulsed voltage source.
282 Send PWDCV to set CV pulse sweep source.
Before triggering the pulsed CV measurement, send the PWDCV
command to set the pu
lsed voltage sweep source.
283 Set linear sweep for MM20.
Only the linear sweep is available for the PWDCV comma
nd for the
pulsed CV measurement (MM20).
284 Improper setting of CMU frequency and pulse width.
Pulse width value is out of the range for the CMU output frequency. Set
both frequ
ency value and pulse width value properly.
290 Send WFC to set Cf sweep source.
Before triggering the Cf sweep measurement, send the WFC command
to set the frequency
sweep source (oscillator).
301 Line power failure.
303 Excess voltage in MPSMU.
Voltage that exceeds maximum voltage a
t the present current r
ange was
detected by a MPSMU. All output switches were set to OFF.
304 Ground unit abuse is detected.
305 Excess current in HPSMU.
Current that exceeds maximum current at the present voltage range was
d
etected by
a HPSMU. All output switches were set to OFF.
307 Unsupported module.
This module is not supported by this firmware revision. Until you
update the fi
rmware, use Agilent B1500 with this module removed.
310 Interlock open operation error. Initialized.
Initialization was automatically performed because the B1500 failed to
set its output
to 0 V when the interlock circuit was opened in the high
voltage condition. Any module may be defective. Perform self-test.
311 ASU control cable was connected/discon
nected.
The B1500 must be turned off when the Atto Sense and Switch Unit
(ASU) is connected/disconn
ected.
