If an error occurs, the Model 430 Programmer will beep, load the internal
error buffer with the error code and description, and set the appropriate
bits in the standard event and status byte registers if enabled by the
user. Error codes are returned with a negative 3 digit integer, then a
comma, and then a description enclosed in double quotes.
NOTE
If the Model 430 is emitting error beeps while under remote
control, the interface is
not
being used properly and the user risks
unintended consequences of failed or ignored commands/
queries. Please contact an authorized AMI Technical Support
Representative for assistance if you cannot resolve the issue.
Use the
SYSTem:ERRor?
query to retrieve the errors in first-in-first-out
(FIFO) order. Errors are removed from the internal error buffer as they
are read. The Model 430 Programmer can store up to 10 errors.
If more than 10 errors have occurred, the last error stored in the internal
error buffer is replaced with
-304,”Error buffer overflow”
. No
additional errors are stored until you have cleared at least one error from
the buffer. If no errors have occurred and the
SYSTem:ERRor?
query is
sent to the Model 430 Programmer, the instrument will return:
0,”No errors”
Error strings may contain up to 80 characters. Errors are classified in the
following categories:
command errors
,
query errors
,
execution errors
,
and
device errors
. Each category corresponds to the identically named
bit in the standard event register (see page 140). If an error occurs in
any one of the categories, the corresponding bit in the standard event
register is set and remains set until cleared by the user.
