Messages and Codes
Error and event codes with negative values are SCPI standard codes. Error and
event codes with positive values are unique to the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Func-
tion Generators.
Table 4-5 lists event code definitions. When an error occurs, you can find its error
class by checking for the code range in Table 4-6 through Table 4-14. Events in
these tables are organized by event class.
Command Errors
Table 4-6 shows the error messages generated by improper command syntax.
Check that the command is properly formed and that it follows the rules in the
Syntax and Commands starting on page 3-1.
