Issue Details

Is there a list of error codes for the NHR 9200/9300 systems?

Solution

Below is a list of error codes along with their descriptions.

 

The PowerPanel software that runs on the touchscreen display of the NHR 9200 and 9300 will only show the Error String information listed below.  When using SCPI communication with the SYSTem:ERRor? query, the Error Code and Error String will be returned.

 

Error CodeError StringDetails about error
-100Command errorA command error indicates that the instrument's GPIB parser has detected an IEEE 488.2 syntax error.  Also generated when sending a query to a command or a command to a query.
-102Syntax errorSyntax - Indicates that an unrecognized command or data type was encountered. For example, a string was received when the device does not accept strings
-108Parameter not allowedIndicates that more parameters were received than expected for the header. For example, *ESE common command only accepts one parameter, so *ESE 0,1 is not allowed.
-109Missing parameterIndicates that less parameters were received than required for the header. For example, *ESE requires one parameter, *ESE is not allowed.
-151Invalid string dataIndicates that a string data element was expected, but was invalid, see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.5.2. For example, an END message was received before the terminal quote character.
-221Settings conflictIndicates that a legal program data element was parsed but could not be executed due to the current device state.
-222Data out of rangeIndicates that a legal program data element was parsed but could not be executed because the interpreted value was outside the legal range defined by the devices
-224Illegal parameter valueIndicates that the value selected was not part of the list of values given.
-232Invalid formatFirmware download data is not formatted correctly.
-240Hardware errorIndicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because of a hardware problem in the device.
-250Mass storage errorIndicates that a flash storage error occurred.
-253Corrupt mediaIndicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because of corrupt media. For example, bad disk or wrong format.
-350Queue overflowError queue is full (too many errors).
-1093Device type (9200, 9300) not valid for this commandA 9300-specific command was sent to a 9200 (or vice-versa).
-1094Error reading data from an auxiliary unitA timeout occurred when trying to communicate to an auxiliary unit.
-1097TimeoutError writing flash memory; Dual-port memory always busy; Measurement aperture never completed.
-1099NHR generic errorUnable to reset; Invalid download mode; Invalid diagnostic mode; Invalid instrument select.
-1196Internal query errorError getting response from DSP.
-1197Internal command errorError sending command to DSP.
-1198Dual port memory errorDual-port memory always busy.
-1282Regulation error detectedInternal error regulating current.
-1284Interlock was/is open, Output is offInterlock is open.
-1285Enable Switch was/is open, Output is offThe front panel Enable switch is set to Disabled.
-1286Voltage Sense Leads error, Output is offThe voltage differential between the output and sense leads is too great.
-1287Battery under-voltage, Charge is disabledThe sensed voltage is less than the Battery Detect Voltage setting.
-1288A hardware reset occurred, Output is offThe DSP detected a hardware reset.
-1290Operating asynchronously in parallelAuxiliary devices not ready before command synchronization timeout.
-1291The number of queued macro commands is too largeThe number of macro steps has been exceeded.
-1292Set parameter is out of rangeOne or more command parameters is out of range.
-1293Mode prerequisite is not metThe instrument is not setup correctly in order to enable the desired mode.
-1294Command not recognizedNetBurner sent illegal command to DSP.
-1295Calibration data checksum errorEither the checksum calculation is bad (flash corruption or erasure) or one of the calibration factors contains a value that is considered out of range.
-1296FLASH type not detectedDSP could not detect FLASH memory.
-1297FLASH firmware checksum errorDSP firmware checksum error.
-1298Executing firmware from PROMIndicates the DSP is running from PROM instead of FLASH memory.
