4.4.9 Error Condition
The error annunciator on the front panel display tells about the error
condition of the multimeter. If there are one or more syntax or hardware
errors found, the error annunciator will be lit to inform user. The
multimeter stores errors using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) order and it
records up to 20 errors in the error queue. The first error detected will be
the first error retrieved. Refer to Chapter 6 for the list of error
messages.
1. The error annunciator will be turned off when you have read the
errors in the memory.
2. If there is no error found when you check the error queue, the
multimeter shows “NO ERRORS”.
3. If there are more than 20 errors found, the last error in the error
queue will be replaced with “-350”, means too many errors.
4. The error queue is cleared when the multimeter is turned off, or when
a *CLS command is received.
How to check the error queue
Press MENU then use ◁ and ▷ to locate “SYSTEM” submenu. Press
ENTER to select it. Again use ◁ and ▷ to locate “ERROR” option. Press
ENTER to select it. The message about error queue will show on the
display. Refer to Chapter 6 for the descriptions of all the error
messages. The locations of the buttons are shown with red rectangle
frames in Figure 4-35.
