An error in the range [-499, -400] indicates that the output queue control of the instrument
has detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2,
chapter 6. The occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the Query Error (bit 2) in the
event status register to be set.
Error code
Error message description
-400
Query error
(generic)
This is the generic query error for devices that cannot detect more
specific errors.
-410
Query
INTERRUPTED
Received a new command before the response was read.
-420
Query
UNTERMINATED
The controller attempted to read the response after the device
received an unsupported query or has not received a query. The -100
"COMMAND ERROR" error and this error are stored in the error queue.
The controller will time out.
-430
Query
DEADLOCKED
The error queue, input buffer, and output buffer are full when sending
large binary data as a response, and the transmission timing is off.
-440
Query
UNTERMINATED
after indefinite
response
Received a separate query in semicolon-delimited format after a
query that returns a response in an indefinite form.
(Example: A command such as the following. *IDN?;SYST:ERR?)
Operation complete event errors
An error in the range [-899, -800] is used when the PCR wishes to report an IEEE488.2
operation complete event. This event occurs when the instrument's synchronization
protocol, having been enabled by an *OPC command, completes all selected pending
operations.
The occurrence of any event error in this class shall cause the Operation Complete (bit 0) in
the event status register to be set.
Error code
Error message description
-800
Operation
complete
The instrument has completed all selected pending operations in accordance
with the IEEE 488.2, 12.5.2 synchronization protocol.
Device-dependent errors
The occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the Device Dependent Error (bit 3) in
the event status register to be set.
Errors that have a number of +900 or greater are generated as a result of the self test that
is run when the *TST? query is received.

Operation denied
while in LOCal state
Operation is denied because the PCR-M/PCR-LE/PCR-LE2 is in
local mode.
102
Operation denied
while in OUTPut ON
state
Operation is denied because the OUTPUT is on.
103
Operation denied
while in PROTection
state
Operation is denied because a protection function is activated.
104
Operation denied due
to invalid
OUTPut:COUPling
mode
Operation is denied because the output mode is invalid.
105
Operation denied
(OUTPut OFF)
Operation is denied because the OUTPUT is off.
106
Operation denied
(TRIP DISable)
Operation is denied because the action to perform when the
current limit is exceeded is set to "not to turn the output off
(DISABLE)."
