Messages
Error number: -213
Trigger command ("*TRG"), or external trigger signal has been received and detected by
E4991A but because of the timing with the E4991A (For example, the E4991A trigger was
not in waiting condition), it was ignored. When the trigger becomes the waiting condition,
set to prepare for trigger command or external trigger signal to be sent.
-213 Init ignored
Due to the fact that other measurement was already underway, the Measurement Initialize
Request ("INIT" command) was ignored. For example, change the setting of
"INIT:CONT" to "OFF" and "TRIG:SOUR" command to "BUS" and trigger with
"*TRG" command. Until the sweep is completed a weight will be pressured when sending
"INIT" command, it will be regarded as E4991A.
-221 Settings conflict
Even though the program data element has beel received and it conforms to the standard,
with the present condition of E4991A, the present day condition, execution is not possible.
-222 Data out of range
Data element well out of range (not violating the standard) from the E4991A defined range
has been received.
-223 Too much data
Even though the program data received in block, expression, or series of characters
conformed to the standard, due to the fixed condition of memory or memory related
devices, the capacity is over what E4991A can hold.
-224 Illegal parameter value
Parameter rate is not appropriate. For example, when a message; "DISP:TRAC1:Y:SPAC
OBAS" has been sent toward the correct program message; "DISP:TRAC1:Y:SPAC
LOG", the parameter rate will be regarded by E4991A as inappropriate. Refer to the
command reference and check to see if the parameter rates is correctly inputted.
-230 Data corrupt or stale
Data may have the possibility to be invalid. Also, the newly started reading procedure has
not been completed since its latest updated access.
-256 File name not found
Designated file could not be found and the command was not correctly executed. For
example, when attempts have been made to read and write on a file that does not exist, or
when a disk is not inserted (properly), this error would occur.
-261 Math error in expression
A syntactically legal expression program data element could not be executed due to a math
error such as a divide-by zero was attempted.
-272 Macro execution error
The E4991A macro-related execution error occurred.
