Introduction

Introduction

The Instrument can be remotely controlled in one of four ways, each of which is configured via the Remote Control

Setup dialog which is availeble from the main menu.

GPIB Provides a parallel interface that allows the connection of other devices to the system for example: Frequency Counter; Printer;

Signal Generator. Allows great flexibility in communicating data and controlling data and provides one of the easiest methods of constructing automatic systems. If long distance communication is required, suitable GPIB Extenders must be connected within the test system at both ends of the communication link.

RS-232-C Provides a serial interface that can be connected directly to the

RS-232-C port of a terminal or computer. Only the controller and the Instrument can be connected within the system. If long distance communication is required, the Instrument can be connected directly to the RS-232-C port of a Modem and controlled via a telephone line.

LAN Provides a parallel interface that allows the connection of other instruments and controllers to the system for example: workstations; other instruments; other test sets that have a LAN interface.

1-2




Connecting the Instrument via GPIB

The following points should be considered when connecting the Instrument via GPIB:

•

Operating distances

•

Communication with the system controller

Operating Distances

1. The total length of GPIB cable must not exceed 2 meters (6 feet) * the number of devices in the system.

2. The total length of GPIB cable, used to interconnect all devices in the system, must not exceed 20 meters

(65 feet).

Operating distances can be increased by using GPIB

Extenders.

Communication with the System Controller

Each device in the system must have a unique address to allow the controller to access each one individually.

Any address in the range 0 to 30 can be selected.


1-3



Table 1-1

Connecting the Instrument via RS-232-C

Remote control via RS-232-C requires that the Instrument

RS-232-C interface settings match those of the controller.

The Instrument acts as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment).

Connecting the Instrument via LAN

Obtain the following information from your LAN System

Administrator before connecting to the LAN:

•

IP address (Example 156.144.180.205)

•

Subnet Mask (Example 255.255.248.000).

•

Default Gateway IP Address (Example 156.144.176.100).

The PORT NUMBER has a default value of 5001. A unique

MAC ADDRESS is assigned to the Instrument at the time of shipment.

Now configure the Instrument to accept the IP address,

Subnet Mask, Default Gateway IP Address and new Port

Number as required.

Connect the Instrument LAN interface to the LAN network.

Command Prompt

Available for LAN and RS-232-C.

The Command Prompt mode allows the instrument to be controlled interactively and provides the following features:

When connection is established the Instrument responds with a prompt string.

Characters sent to the Instrument are echoed back to the terminal. If a command in wrongly entered then the Status Byte (STB) is flagged as follows:

STB: [ EEQ ]

This shows that the EEQ bit is set, indicating a message in the error/event queue. This can be retrieved using the command SYST:ERR?

Controlling the Instrument

Table 1-2

·

·

·

·

The simplest way to verify the connection and become familiar with remote RS-232-C operation is to send a few commands and observe their effect. In this example using a terminal we will:

·

·

Take the Instrument under remote control

Initialize the Instrument

·

Read the contents of the error register

Start a test period

Add errors

Obtain the result (Option dependent)

Return the Instrument to local operation

Example sequence of SCPI commands

Terminal Input

:SYST:REM

*RST

:SYST:ERR?

Comment

Takes the Instrument under remote control. An indicator will light.

Default settings, registers cleared.

The SCPI Error Message and number can be read, even in local operation mode. (+0, "No error")

:SENS:DATA:TEL:TEST:TYPE MAN Selects a manual test period.

:SENS:DATA:TEL:TEST ON Starts the manual test period.

:SOUR:DATA:TEL:ERR:SING


Adds a single bit error.



:SENS:DATA:TEL:TEST OFF

:SENS:DATA? "ECO:BIT"


Halts the manual test period.

Returns the bit error count in numeric form, in this example 3.

1-6




Terminal Input

:SYST:LOC

Comment

Returns the Instrument to local control. The remote indicator is extinguished.


1-7



To Initialize the Instrument

Regardless of the current set up, the following command will initialize the Instrument. It sets the Instrument to the factory default settings and clears all registers. It will halt any applications currently running. It will not affect fitted hardware or software options or any preferences seetings.

*RST

It is recommended that you do not rely on default settings but program each setting to what you require.

Remote Control Hints & Tips

This section gives some Hints & Tips on how to control the Instrument via remote control. Before writing any program to control the Instrument it may help to manually go through the steps required to set up the desired configuration. The order in which you should send the corresponding SCPI commands will usually follow the order in which you set up the Instrument from the

Front Panel.

Default Settings

In general, default settings should not be assumed. It is recommended that each instrument setting should be explicitly programmed to the desired value.

Also commands that affect higher level settings such as

Signal Rate or Payload Type should be sent before commands to set up lower level settings e.g. Pattern.

This is because, in some cases, higher level setting changes can affect the values of lower settings.

Instrument Coupling

If you wish to set the Instrument Transmitter and

Receiver to the same settings then you can save time by selecting Transmitter/Receiver Coupling. Depending upon the direction of coupling set (ie Tx to Rx or Rx to Tx), programming either the Receiver or the Transmitter will cause the coupled Transmitter or Receiver to be similarly programmed.

To turn coupling on use the command

:INSTrument:COUPle

Error Checking

It is recommended that, when sending SCPI commands to the Instrument, you also periodically send the

SYSTem:ERRor? command to check for any Remote Control

Errors reported by the instrument. This command returns

1-9




0, "No Error" if there are no errors in the error queue.

If the SYSTem:ERRor? command is sent after every set up command then it makes debugging any reported errors much easier since you will know exactly which command caused the error.

The actual error queue within the Instrument can be cleared by sending the *CLS command.

Command Completion

When programming the instrument over RS-232-C, it is important to realize that a buffer exists in the

Instrument between the RS-232-C port and the SCPI parser.

The effect of this is that even if the Instrument accepts the last character of a command, it cannot be assumed that it will immediately be executed - there could be several commands ahead of this one waiting in the buffer.

If you need to know when a command, or sequence of commands has been accepted by the instrument, follow them with a query command. When the response to the query command is returned, then you know that all commands prior to that have been executed.

Suitable query commands to use are *OPC? or

SYSTem:ERRor? (which also gives the additional benefit of error checking as described above).

Note that this effect does not apply with GPIB. When

GPIB is used to remotely control the Instrument then, after the last character of a SCPI command has been accepted by the instrument, its execution is imminent.

However, it is still good practice to send SYSTem:ERRor? after each command in order to check for error free completion.

Set up Delays

Even after the Instrument has accepted a SCPI command it may take some time for it to execute the requested operation (e.g. payload change, single error add). It is therefore recommended that at least 250 ms is allowed after the command has completed before expecting the

1-10



Remote Control Hints & Tips instrument operation to occur. One way of determining if such delays exist is to perform the desired operation manually using the Instrument's Front Panel and checking if there is any noticeable delay in execution.

Status Registers

Status registers in general are only updated every 100 ms by the Instrument. Therefore you should avoid reading them any faster than that since, although it does not do any harm if they are read faster, it means that less processing power will be available to update the display.

If you need to detect a status register bit that is momentarily changing state, avoid using the condition register in the hope of catching both states. Instead it is much better to program the PTRansition and

NTRansition registers to catch the event of interest, and then use the event register to monitor for the event.

For example, say you wished to detect when the K1 and K2 bytes in the Multiplex Section Line Overhead of a STM-

1/STS-3 signal have changed. There is a K1K2 bit defined

(DB6) in the SDH2/SONet2 Status Register that is set when these bytes change value.

However, if you monitored the SDH2/SONet2 status register simply by sending the STATus:SDH2:CONDition? or

STATus:SON2:CONDition? command then it is very likely that you would miss any transition in the K1K2 bit.

A better method is as follows.

1. Set transition filter to pass positive transitions in K1K2 (DB6)

2. Periodically read SDH2 event register.

3. Periodically read SONet2 event register

4. Check for K1K2 (DB6) being set.

:STATus:SDH2:PTR 64;NTR 0

:STATus:SDH2:EVENt?

:STATus:SONet2:EVENt?

Using this technique you will detect any changes in the

K1 and K2 bytes.


1-11



If you needed to monitor a number of status bits then using this method would not be ideal since it would have the disadvantage of having to regularly read a number of status registers. A general rule is to minimize the number of status register reads required and, to achieve this, use can be made of the Summary registers. For details on how to use the Summary registers and also the

SRQ mechanism (GPIB only) see Programmed Status

Reporting on page 7-41.

Test Period Control

There are a number of status register bits that can be used to indicate the state of the Instrument's measurement system.

When you send the start Test Period command to the

Instrument you should check the MEAS bit (DB4) in the

OPERation status register. This is because the

Instrument takes a finite period of time to start the

Test Period. When the MEAS bit is set to one it means that the Instrument is in the Test Period.

If it is required to retrieve Last second results while the Instrument is in the Test Period then the STP bit

(DB6) in the INSTrument status register can be used to determine when last second results can be read i.e. when the first last second test period has completed.

The EOT bit (DB2) in the INSTrument status register can be used to determine when the Instrument Test Period period is complete.

SCPI Command Format

SCPI Command Format

Instrument functions such as making measurements, retrieving data, and querying status, are performed by stringing together SCPI "nodes" into commands. The SCPI commands are based on hierarchical structures called

"subsystems" that comprise a top level "root" node and one or more lower-level nodes and their parameters as follows:

:INPut:TELecom:CODE <CMI> or <AMI> or <HDB3>

:INPut is the root node

:TELecom is a second level node

:CODE is a third level node

CMI, AMI and HDB3 are parameters of the third-level:CODE node.

Command Syntax

Commands are shown as a mix of upper and lowercase characters.

Commands can be abbreviated for shorter program line lengths. The uppercase characters define the abbreviated form of the command.

Commands are formed by linking the root node with lowerlevel nodes. A colon (:) is used to link nodes.

If the command requires a parameter, a space must separate the lowest level node and the parameter. If there is more than one parameter, a comma (,) is used to separate the parameters.

Examples of typical commands and their abbreviated form are shown below:

:INPut:TELecom:CODE AMI

:INP:TEL:CODE AMI

:SOURce:DATA:TELecom:PATTern PRBS23

SCPI Command Format

SCPI Long Form Command Headers

The general rule for SCPI long form command nodes that are greater than four characters in length is as follows:

Abbreviated short form mnemonics - the first four characters from the long form mode are used unless the fourth character is a vowel. In such cases, the vowel is dropped and only the first three characters are used.

If the node is four characters long then all four characters are used, irrespective of whether the fourth character is a vowel or not.

Status Reporting


Programmed Status Reporting

When a condition is detected, a summary bit is generated by the Status Register which detects the condition. This summary bit, in most cases, passes through other Status

Registers before affecting the Status Byte. These other

Status Registers also generate a summary bit. By setting the

Event Enable Register mask in all registers in the chain, the status condition can be reported.

When implementing Status reporting into your programming, consider the following with reference to the Status

Registers Relationship diagram in the Status Register

Hierarchy.

Programming Interrupts

1) Define which conditions you went reported. To do this, set the Event Enable Register mask of the Status Register that first detects the defined conditions. Set the Event

Enable Register mask of err subsequent Status Registers between the reporting Status Register and the Status Byte.

Using en example from the SDH Status Register:

LOS + LOF

:STAT:SDH:ENAB 3

:STAT:SDH:PTR 3;NTR 0

:STAT:DATA:ENAB 4

:STAT:DATA:PTR 4;NTR 0

:STAT:QUES:ENAB 512

:STAT:QUES:PTR 512;NTR 0

Set the SDH event enable register to summarize for LOF(2) + LOS (1)

Transition filter passes positive transitions bits 0 and 1.

Set the DATA event enable register to summarize for SDH(4)

Set the QUES event enable register to summarize for DATA(512)

Status Reporting


2) If you are implementing a service request/serial port

OPERation, set the mask of the Status Byte, for example:

*SRE 40

QUES summary + Standard Event summary

The Status Byte register will initiate a service request

(RQS) when either of the masked conditions are detected.

Interpreting Interrupts

1) Check the content of the Status Byte register using the service request/serial port OPERation (SPOLL) or by issuing the *STB? common capabilities command, for example:

*STB?

Returns 8 - QUES summary

2) If a condition has been detected, determine which Status

Register is responsible for issuing the summary bit, then use the appropriate STATus commands to interrogate the appropriate registers, for example:

:STAT:QUES:EVEN?

:STAT:DATA:EVEN?

:STAT:SDH:EVEN?

Returns 512 - DATA summary

Returns 4 - SDH summary

Returns 3 - LOF (2) + LOS (1)

SCPI Standard

SCPI Standard

Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) is a standard of the SCPI Consortium

( http://www.scpiconsortium.org

) that provides guidelines for remote programming commands for instruments. The goal of SCPI is to reduce Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) program development time. It accomplishes this by providing a consistent programming environment for instrument control and data usage. This programming environment uses defined programming messages, instrument responses, and data formats across all SCPI instruments, regardless of manufacturer.

SCPI is based on two IEEE standards:

• ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1-1987, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for

Programmable Instrumentation

• ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and

Common Commands. For use with ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1-1987, IEEE

Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation

GPIB Universal Commands

These required commands perform the most basic remote functions over GPIB and are common to all GPIB controllable instruments. They are hardwired via the cabling present in the GPIB connection are often referred to as meta-messages. The “commands” are as follows:-

• DEVICE CLEAR

• SERIAL POLL

• REMOTE ENABLE

• LOCAL LOCKOUT

• GO TO LOCAL

Device Clear

This command will initialize the instrument GPIB hardware.

The command using some forms of the Basic programming language, for example, is:

CLEAR 705 (where 7 is the Bus I/O select code and

05 is the device address).

Serial Poll

A serial poll will retrieve the value of the primary

Status Byte (page 7-3). This byte contains useful information about the current state of the instrument.

An example command using some forms of the Basic programming language is:

SPOLL (705)

8-3




Remote Enable

This command instructs the instrument to enter the

REMOTE state and be ready to accept configuration commands.


REMOTE (705)

Local Lockout

This command is not implemented in the instrument at this time.

Local

The Local command returns the instrument from Remote operation to local front panel control. Once received, the instrument will only respond to query commands.


LOCAL 705

Backwards Compatible SCPI Command Reference

Backwards Compatibility

Commands Provided for Backward Compatibility

Earlier Version Features With No SCPI Support



This chapter contains detailed information on commands that were once used in earlier product versions and are provided for backwards compatibility with those versions.

9-2

9-4

9-53

9-55





As products evolve, differences in the same or similar features and their corresponding SCPI commands will emerge. This chapter documents the compatibility of SCPI commands between this instrument version and any older versions, including the OmniBER 718/719 product family, with respect to compatible features. From this point onwards, they will all be commonly referred to as

“earlier product versions”.

Where an instrument feature is not provided in this version of the product then there will obviously be no

SCPI in support of that feature. Please refer to the

Manuals of your earlier product version for information on the SCPI commands and features provided for that product.

When you migrate your control software to this instrument and review SCPI commands for reuse, you are strongly encouraged to use the new versions of these commands. This will minimize future compatibility issues with your use of SCPI.

Commands listed in this chapter are provided for the support of backwards compatibility. They may not be provided in future versions of this product family and are subject to deprecation.

Note the use of “|” throughout this Manual to indicate node or parameter aliasing. For example,

SOURce:DATA:TELEcom:SDH|SONet:PAYLoad

This chapter is structured as follows

1. Commands Provided for Backward Compatibility

These are commands which are identical or similar to the corresponding commands found in earlier instrument versions, but have been added or modified for compatibility.

9-2




Under each command, the “Limitations” subheading will identify any restrictions relevant to the existing instrument functionality. However, it will not attempt to explain missing or unsupported command parameters due to feature reduction. That information should be obtained from the instrument specifications.

Under each command, the “Preferred” subheading will identify the migration path using recommended commands or parameters.

2. Earlier Version Features With No SCPI Support

Commands for features supported in both instruments but

NO SCPI support in this instrument.

3. Workarounds for Incompatible Commands

Commands for which there is a workaround in this instrument. For example, some commands are common between the two instruments but support different parameters. In these instances there is usually (at least) one parameter which is also common.

9-3




Commands Provided for Backward Compatibility

For parameter details of backward compatible commands please refer to the SCPI manual for the earlier version of your instrument.

For longer-term support it is recommended that the

Preferred commands belonging to the command set of this instrument be used where possible.

SCPI Error Messages


The system-defined error/event numbers are chosen on an enumerated (”1 of N”) basis. The SCPI defined error/event numbers and the error description portions of the ERRor query response are listed here. The first error/event described in each class (for example,

−

100,

−

200,

−

300,

−

400) is a “generic” error. In selecting the proper error/event number to report, more specific error/event codes are preferred, and the generic error/event is used only if the others are inappropriate.

No Error

This message indicates that the device has no errors.

No Error

The queue is completely empty. Every error/event in the queue has been read or the queue was purposely cleared by power-on, *CLS, etc.

Command Errors [

−−−−

199,

−−−−

100 ]

An < error/event number > in the range [

−

199,

−

100 ]

indicates that an IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the instrument’s parser. The occurrence of any error in this class should cause the command error bit (bit 5) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set. One of the following events has occurred:

• An IEEE 488.2 system error has been detected by the parser. That is, a controller-to-device message was received which is in violation of the IEEE

488.2 standard. Possible violations include a data element which violates the device listening formats or whose type is unacceptable to the device.

10-2



SCPI Error Messages

• An unrecognized header was received. Unrecognized headers include incorrect device-specific headers and incorrect or not implemented IEEE 488.2 common commands.

• A Group Execute Trigger (GET) was entered into the input buffer inside of an

IEEE 488.2 < PROGRAM MESSAGE >.

Events that generate command errors shall not generate execution errors, device-specific errors, or query errors.

−

100

Command error

This is the generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors. This code indicates only

that a Command Error as defined in IEEE 488.2,

11.5.1.1.4 has occurred.

−

101

Invalid character

A syntactic element contains a character which is invalid for that type; for example, a header containing an ampersand, SET UP&. This error might be used in place of errors

−

114,

−

121,

−

141, and perhaps some others.

−

102

Syntax error

An unrecognized command or data type was encountered; for example, a string was received when the device does not accept strings.

−

103

Invalid separator

The parser was expecting a separator and encountered an illegal character; for example, the semicolon was omitted after a program message unit, *ESE

1:OUTP1:TEL:RATE 140 Mb/s

−

104

Data type error

The parser recognized a data element different than one allowed; for example, numeric or string data was expected but block data was encountered.

10-3



SCPI Error Messages

−

105

GET not allowed

A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program

message (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7).

−

108

Parameter not allowed

More parameters were received than expected for the header; for example, the *RCL common command only accepts one parameter, so receiving *RCL 0,1 is not allowed.

−

109

Missing parameter

Fewer parameters were received than required for the header; for example, the *ESE common command requires one parameter, so receiving *ESE is not allowed.

−

110

Command header error

An error was detected in the header. This error message should be used when the device cannot detect the more specific errors described for errors

−

111 through

−

119.

−

111

Header separator error

A character which is not a legal header separator was encountered while parsing the header; for example, no white space followed the header, thus *ESE1 is an error.

−

112

Program mnemonic too long

The header contains more that twelve characters (see

IEEE 488.2, 7.6.1.4.1).

−

113

Undefined header

The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined by this specific device; for example, *XYZ is not defined for any device.

−

114

Header suffix out of range

10-4



SCPI Error Messages

Indicates that a non-header character has been encountered in what the parser expects is a header element.

−

120

Numeric data error

This error, as well as errors

−

121 through

−

129, are generated when parsing a data element which appears to be numeric, including the non-decimal numeric types.

This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

−

121

Invalid character in number

An invalid character for the data type being parsed was encountered; for example, an alpha in a decimal numeric or a “9” in octal data.

−

123

Exponent too large

The magnitude of the exponent was larger than 32000 (see

IEEE 488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).

−

124

Too many digits

The mantissa of a decimal numeric data element contained

more than 255 digits excluding leading zeros (see IEEE

488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).

−

128

Numeric data not allowed

A legal numeric data element was received, but the device does not accept one in this position for the header.

−

130

Suffix error


−

131 through

−

139, are generated when parsing a suffix. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

−

131

Invalid suffix

10-5



SCPI Error Messages

The suffix does not follow the syntax described in IEEE

488.2, 7.7.3.2, or the suffix is inappropriate for this device.

−

134

Suffix too long

The suffix contained more than 12 characters (see IEEE

488.2, 7.7.3.4).

−

138

Suffix not allowed

A suffix was encountered after a numeric element which does not allow suffixes.

−

140

Character data error


−

141 through

−

149, are generated when parsing a character data element. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

−

141

Invalid character data

Either the character data element contains an invalid character or the particular element received is not valid for the header.

−

144

Character data too long

The character data element contains more than twelve

characters (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.1.4).

−

148

Character data not allowed

A legal character data element was encountered where prohibited by the device.

−

150

String data error


−

151 through

−

159, are generated when parsing a string data element. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

10-6



SCPI Error Messages

−

151

Invalid string data

A string data element was expected, but was invalid for some reason (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.5.2); for example, an

END message was received before the terminal quote character.

−

158

String data not allowed

A string data element was encountered but was not allowed by the device at this point in parsing.

−

160

Block data error


−

161 through

−

169, are generated when parsing a block data element. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

−

161

Invalid block data

A block data element was expected, but was invalid for some reason (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.6.2); for example, an

END message was received before the length was satisfied.

−

168

Block data not allowed

A legal block data element was encountered but was not allowed by the device at this point in parsing.

−

170

Expression error


−

171 through

−

179, are generated when parsing an expression data element. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

−

171

Invalid expression

The expression data element was invalid (see IEEE 488.2,

7.7.7.2); for example, unmatched parentheses or an illegal character.

10-7



SCPI Error Messages

−

178

Expression data not allowed

A legal expression data was encountered but was not allowed by the device at this point in parsing.

−

180

Macro error


−

181 through

−

189, are generated when defining a macro or executing a macro.

This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

−

181

Invalid outside macro definition

Indicates that a macro parameter placeholder ($<number) was encountered outside of a macro definition.

−

183

Invalid inside macro definition

Indicates that the program message unit sequence, sent with a *DDT or *DMC command, is syntactically invalid

(see 10.7.6.3).

−

184

Macro parameter error

Indicates that a command inside the macro definition had the wrong number or type of parameters.

10-8



Execution Errors [•299, •200 ]

Execution Errors [

−−−−

299,

−−−−

200 ]

An < error/event number > in the range [

−

299,

−

200 ] indicates that an error has been detected by the instrument’s execution control block. The occurrence of any error in this class should cause the execution error bit (bit 4) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set. One of the following events has occurred:

• A < PROGRAM DATA > element following a header was evaluated by the device as outside of its legal input range or is otherwise inconsistent with the device’s capabilities.

• A valid program message could not be properly executed due to some device condition.

Execution errors shall be reported by the device after rounding and expression evaluation operations have taken place. Rounding a numeric data element, for example, shall not be reported as an execution error. Events that generate execution errors shall not generate Command

Errors, device-specific errors, or Query Errors.

−

200

Execution error

This is the generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors. This code indicates only

that an Execution Error as defined in IEEE 488.2,

11.5.1.1.5 has occurred.

−

201

Invalid while in local

Indicates that a command is not executable while the

device is in local due to a hard local control (see IEEE

488.2, 5.6.1.5); for example, a device with a rotary switch receives a message which would change the switches state, but the device is in local so the message can not be executed.

−

202

Settings lost due to rtl

10-9




Indicates that a setting associated with a hard local

control (see IEEE 488.2, 5.6.1.5) was lost when the device changed to LOCS from REMS or to LWLS from RWLS.

−

210

Trigger error

−

211

Trigger ignored

Indicates that a GET, *TRG, or triggering signal was received and recognized by the device but was ignored because of device timing considerations; for example, the device was not ready to respond. Note: a DT0 device always ignores GET and treats *TRG as a Command Error.

−

212

Arm ignored

Query Errors [

−

399,

−

300 ]


−

399,

−

300 ] indicates that the instrument has detected an error which is not a command error, a query error, or an execution error; some device operations did not properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. These codes are also used for selftest response errors. The occurrence of any error in this class should cause the device-specific error bit

(bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set. The meaning of positive error codes is device-dependent and may be enumerated or bit mapped; the <error message> string for positive error codes is not defined by SCPI and available to the device engineer. Note that the string is not optional; if the designer does not wish to implement a string for a particular error, the null string should be sent (for example 42," "). The occurrence of any error in this class should cause the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section

11.5.1) to be set. Events that generate device-specific errors shall not generate command errors, execution errors, or query errors; see the other error definitions in this section.

−

300

Device-specific error

10-19




Query Errors [

−

499,

−

400 ]


−

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 should cause the query error bit (bit 2) in the event status register

(IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set. These errors correspond to message exchange protocol errors described in IEEE 488.2, section 6.5. One of the following is true:

• An attempt is being made to read data from the output queue when no output is either present or pending;

• Data in the output queue has been lost.

Events that generate query errors shall not generate command errors, execution errors, or device-specific errors; see the other error definitions in this section.

−

400

Query error

This is the general query error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors. This code indicates only

that a Query Error as defined in IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.7 and 6.3 has occurred.

−

410

Query INTERRUPTED

−

420

Query UNTERMINATED

Indicates that a condition causing an UNTERMINATED Query

error occurred (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.2.2); for example, the device was addressed to talk and an incomplete program message was received.

10-20




−

430

Query DEADLOCKED

Indicates that a condition causing a DEADLOCKED Query

error occurred (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.1.7); for example, both input buffer and output buffer are full and the device cannot continue.

−

440

Query UNTERMINATED after indefinite response

Indicates that a query was received in the same program message after a query requesting an indefinite response

was executed (see IEEE 488.2, 6.5.7.5.7.)
