Error Codes
The time stamp function is not available for the binary data output
format. To use the time stamp function, set the data output format to
ASCII.
655 Cannot connect/disconnect series resistor.
The series resistor status cannot be changed in the high voltage state.
Set the output
voltage or the voltage compliance to ±42 V or less to
connect or disconnect the series resistor.
656 Series resistor must be OFF for 1 A range.
The series resistor cannot be set to ON for the measurement channels o
r
the output channels that use 1 A range.
657 Series resistor cannot be used with ASU.
The series resistor is not available for the channel connected
to the Atto
Sense and Switch Unit (ASU).
660 Sampling measurement was aborted.
Sampling measurement was aborted by the automatic abort function.
661 Negative hold time is only valid for I/V-t linear sampling with interval
< 2
ms.
662 Samplin
g interval for I/V-t log sampling must be 2 ms or longer.
663 Number of samples does not have to exceed 100001.
664 Base and bias must be same polarity for I mode.
The ba
se and bias values of the MI
command must be the same
polarity.
670 Specified channel does not have ASU.
Specify the module that can be used with the ASU.
671 SSP is not available for this channel.
SSP command is available only for the CMU. Specify the slot number
th
at the CMU ha
s been installed.
680 CMU correction mode must be manual.
To perform the CMU correction by using the ADJ? command, set the
CMU correct
ion mode to manual by using the ADJ command.
681 CMU correction mode must be off.
682 Invalid standard is specified as CMU correction.
