If You Have a Problem
Error Codes
3301 Specified output voltage is out of absolute limits.
Check the output voltage and set the correct value. The value must be
-3 V to +3
V for the 3 V range, -5 V to +5 V for the 5 V range, -10 V
to 0 V for the -10 V range, or
0 V to +10 V for the + 10 V range.
3302 Specified voltage output range is invalid.
Check the voltage output range and set the correct value.
3303 Invalid measurement mode for current operation mode.
Operation mode must be Fast IV or DC to perform current
meas
urement.
3304 Specified
ALWG Vector Data size is out of absolute limits.
ALWG data cannot be read because of too large data size.
3305 Specified ALWG Sequence Data size is out of absolute limits.
ALWG data cannot be read because of too large sequence data size.
3306 ALWG Waveform Data is empty.
ALWG data must not be empty.
3307 Specified ALWG Waveform Data size is out of absolute limits.
ALWG data cannot be read because of too large waveform data size.
3308 Specified waveform index of ALWG Sequence Data is out of absolute
lim
its.
Check t
he index value of the sequence data and set the correct value.
3309 Specified loop number of ALWG Sequence Data is out of absolute
limits.
Check t
he loop value of the sequence data and set the correct value.
3310 Specified output voltage of ALWG Waveform Data is out of absolute
limits.
Check t
he output voltage and set the correct value. The value must be
-3 V to +3
V for the 3 V range, -5 V to +5 V for the 5 V range, -10 V
to 0 V for the -10 V range, or
0 V to +10 V for the + 10 V range.
3311 Specified interval time of ALWG Waveform is out of absolute limits.
Check the incremental time (interval time) and set the correct valu
e.
The value must be 10 ns to 10995.11627775 s, in 10 ns resolution.
