Introduction
During operation of the Agilent 71612 Series error performance analyzer certain
configurations, events and keystrokes are invalid and produce error messages.
The Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) splits errors into those
with positive error numbers and those with negative numbers.
Positive ones are specific to this instrument. They are categorized into non-permanent and
permanent errors. Permanent errors signify a lasting problem with the instrument that
should be investigated. Non-permanent errors are generally associated with incorrect user
settings. The following pages give a complete list of errors. A fuller description is given in
cases where the displayed message needs further explanation.
Negative ones are not specific to this instrument and they are defined by SCPI. As such,
they are not listed here.
