Table B-2. Multimeter Register-Based Programming Error Codes
Error Code Cause
00
16
No error has occurred since the last error code was read.
01
16
Unrecognized command opcode.
02
16
A parameter was required but a command was received.
03
16
A parameter is invalid or out of range for the specified command.
04
16
Reading overrun. The data buffer is full and another measurement is taken.
This error also occurs when a new command (opcode) is received while the
multimeter is placing a reading in the data buffer. Trigger Arm is disabled.
05
16
The command or parameter received is not allowed in the two byte reading
mode (10 µs aperture time).
0C
16
Command is terminated by another command.
0E
16
The aperture time is longer than the sample rate.
0F
16
Input overload. A potentially damaging voltage has been applied to the
multimeter:
> +- 40V between HI and LO or HI and COMMON with the range <= 8V
> +- 40V between LO and COMMON on any range
Under this condition, the multimeter disconnects itself from the input.
A new range must be specified to restore operation.
