Error Codes
312 SCUU control cable was connected/disconnected.
The B1500 must be turned off when the SMU CMU Unify Unit
(SCUU) is connected
/disconnected.
320 Excess current in CMU.
Current that exceeds maximum current at the present voltage range was
detected by
the CMU. The output switch was set to OFF.
321 This command is not available for CMU.
CMU was specified for the SMU dedicated command. Specify SMU.
322 This command is not available for SMU.
SMU was specified for the CMU dedicated command. Specify CMU.
323 Use SSP instead of CN for SCUU modules.
It is not necessary to specify the
modules conn
ected to the SMU CMU
Unify Unit (SCUU) in the CN command. The output switches will be
controlled by the SSP command.
330 Turn on again to detect source channel.
SCUU might be disconnected/connected on the power on condition.
Restart the B
1500 to detect and enable the channel.
331 Turn on again to detect synchronous channel.
SCUU might be disconnected/connected on the power on condition.
Restart the B
1500 to detect and enable the channel.
332 Turn on again to detect measurement channe
l.
SCUU might be disconnected/connected on the power on condition.
Restart the B
1500 to detect and enable the channel.
333 Turn on again to detect search source.
SCUU might be disconnected/connected on the power on condition.

1500 to detect and enable the channel.
334 Turn on again to detect search sync source.
SCUU might be disconnected/connected on the power on condition.
Restart the B
1500 to detect and enable the channel.
335 Turn on again to detect search monitor channe
l.
SCUU might be disconnected/connected on the power on condition.
Restart the B
