-222 Data out of range; FM
deviation limited by maximum
frequency; value clipped to upper
limit
The frequency deviation cannot exceed the carrier
frequency.
-222 Data out of range; PWM
deviation
The width deviation is permitted to be in the range of
0, and the width of the underlying pulse waveform.
The duty cycle deviation is in the range of 0, and the
duty cycle of the underlying pulse waveform. This
message indicates that either parameter is further
limited by minimum pulse width and edge time
parameters.
-222 Data out of range; PWM
deviation limited by pulse
parameters
The PWM deviation (width or duty cycle) is adjusted
to accommodate current pulse parameters such as
pulse width/duty cycle, period, and edge time.
-222 Data out of range; duty
cycle; value clipped to...
The square wave duty cycle is adjusted to within
20% to 80%.
-222 Data out of range; duty cycle
limited by frequency; value clipped
to upper limit
The square wave duty cycle is adjusted to within
40% to 60% when the frequency is greater than
25 MHz.
-223 Too much data
An arbitrary waveform specified contains more than
65,536 points. Verify the number of points in the
DATA VOLATILE or DATA:DAC VOLATILE
command.
-224 Illegal parameter value
An exact parameter value was expected.
Table B-3:
Device-dependent errors
Error code Description
-313 Calibration memory lost;
memory corruption detected
A checksum error was detected in the nonvolatile
memory (used to store calibration constant).
-314 Save/recall memory lost;
memory corruption detected
A checksum error was detected in the nonvolatile
memory (used to store instrument states).
-315 Configuration memory lost;
memory corruption detected
A checksum error was detected in the nonvolatile
memory (used to store configuration settings).
-350 Queue overflow
More than 20 errors were found and the error queue
is full.
Table B-4:
Query errors
Error code Description
-410 Query INTERRUPTED
A command was received, but the output buffer
contained data from a previous command (the
previous data is lost).
-420 Query UNTERMINATED
A query command was sent to read the output buffer
over the interface, but no such command that
generates data to the output buffer was previously
sent for execution.
-430 Query DEADLOCKED
An executed command generated too much data for
the output buffer and the input buffer is also full. The
command continues to execute but the data is lost.
