In tr od u ction  
If an error condition occurs in the signal generator, it is reported to both the front panel  
display error queue and the SCPI (remote interface) error queue. These two queues are  
viewed and managed separately.  
NOTE  
When there is an unviewed message in the front panel error queue, the ERR  
annunciator appears on the signal generators display.

ESG Family Signal Generators  
Er r or Messa ge For m a t  
The system-defined error numbers are chosen on an enumerated (1 of N) basis. The  
SCPI-defined error numbers and the <error_description> portions of the error query  
response are displayed on the instrument.  
In this chapter, an explanation is included with each error to further clarify its meaning.  
The first error described in each class (for example, -400, -300, -200, -100) is a generic”  
error. In selecting the proper error number to report, more specific error codes are  
preferred.  
Error messages appear in the lower-left corner of the display.

Error Message Types  
Er r or Messa ge Typ es  
Events do not generate more than one type of error. For example, an event that generates a  
query error will not generate a device-specific, execution, or command error.  
Qu er y Er r or s (–499 to 400) indicate that the instruments output queue control has  
detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 4888.2,  
Chapter 6. Errors in this class set the query error bit (bit 2) in the event status register  
(IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). These errors correspond to message exchange protocol errors  
described in IEEE 488.2, 6.5. In this case:  
Either an attempt is being made to read data from the output queue when no output is  
either present or pending, or  
data in the output queue has been lost.  
Device Sp ecific Er r or s (–399 to 300 a n d 201 to 702) indicate that a device operation  
did not properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition.  
These codes are also used for self-test response errors. Errors in this class set the  
device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1).  
The <error_message> string for a positive error is not defined by SCPI. A positive error  
indicates that the instrument detected an error within the GPIB system, within the  
instruments rmware or hardware, during the transfer of block data, or during  
calibration.  
Execu tion Er r or s (–299 to 200) indicate that an error has been detected by the  
instruments execution control block. Errors in this class set the execution error bit (bit 4)  
in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). In this case:  
Either 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 devices  
capabilities, or  
a valid program message could not be properly executed due to some device condition.  
Execution errors are reported after rounding and expression evaluation operations are  
completed. Rounding a numeric data element, for example, is not reported as an execution  
error.  
Com m a n d Er r or s (–199 to 100) indicate that the instruments parser detected an  
IEEE 488.2 syntax error. Errors in this class set the command error bit (bit 5) in the event  
status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). In this case:  
Either an IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the parser (a control-to-device  
message was received that is in violation of the IEEE 488.2 standard. Possible  
violations include a data element that violates device listening formats or whose type is  
unacceptable to the device.), or  
an unrecognized header was received. These include incorrect device-specific headers  
and incorrect or unimplemented IEEE 488.2 common commands.

-499 to -400: Qu er y Er r or s  
The instruments output queue control has detected a problem with the message exchange  
protocol described in IEEE 4888.2, Chapter 6. Errors in this class set the query error bit  
(bit 2) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). These errors correspond to

Query UNTERMINATED after indefinite response  
A query was received in the same program message in which a query  
requesting an indefinite response was executed (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.7.5).  
Query DEADLOCKED  
A condition causing a DEADLOCKED query error occurred (see  
IEEE 488.2, 6.3.1.7). For example, both the input buffer and the output  
buffer are full and the device cannot continue.  
Query DEADLOCKED  
A SCPI output queue has filled, preventing further SCPI command  
execution, and there is no more room left in the corresponding SCPI input  
queue to accept a query to read from the output queue. The system  
automatically discards output to correct the deadlock.  
-420  
-410  
-400  
Query UNTERMINATED  
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.  
Query INTERRUPTED  
A condition causing an INTERRUPTED query error occurred (see  
IEEE 488.2, 6.3.2.7). For example, a query was followed by DAB or GET  
before a response was completely sent.  
Query Error  
This is a generic query error for devices that cannot detect more specific  
errors. The code indicates only that a query error as defined in IEE 488.2,  
11.5.1.1.7 and 6.3 has occurred.

downlink.  
Indicates that, in TETRA mode, some of the timeslots are set to uplink.  
When the control frame is turned on in TETRA, all timeslots in all frames  
must use downlink protocols. The instrument enforces this by  
reconfiguring the timeslots that are not using downlink protocols when the  
control frame is switched on.  
Settings conflict; Cannot select uplink protocols while the  
control frame is on. Selection changed to custom.  
Indicates that in TETRA mode, an attempt has been made to select uplink  
protocols while the control frame is switched on. TETRA requires that the  
control frame be switched off in order to select uplink protocols.  
Settings conflict; Carrier formats must be the same.  
All digital modulation multicarriers must be the same format.  
Settings conflict; Channel #<NUMBER> must be on for any  
transport channel following it to be on. All transport

Settings conflict; Continuous & Discontinuous setting  
conflict. All selected Continuous timeslots are now switched  
to Discontinuous.  
Indicates that while in TETRA mode, an attempt has been made to  
simultaneously assign continuous and discontinuous protocols to the  
timeslots. Continuous and discontinuous protocols cannot coexist in  
TETRA mode. If a discontinuous protocol is selected for any timeslot, all  
timeslots’ protocols are changed to discontinuous protocols.  
Settings conflict; Current frame length does not have symbol  
boundary. End of frame has been patched with extra bits to  
allow an integer of symbols in a frame.  
With Option UN8, in TDMA format you can select from many different  
modulations with different bits per symbol. Because all TDMA formats  
have a fixed frame size, in some modulations end-of-frame and  
end-of-symbol do not happen at the same time. This message indicates  
that end-of-frame has been patched with extra bits to allow an integer of  
symbols per frame.  
Settings conflict; Discontinuous & Continuous setting  
conflict. All selected Discontinuous timeslots are now  
switched to Continuous.  
Indicates that while in TETRA mode, an attempt has been made to

Settings conflict; EDGE BERT requires Normal as Timeslot Type.  
An unsupported timeslot type was encountered. The measurement  
timeslot must be designated Normal.  
Settings conflict; Enabled mod source conflicts with  
previously enabled mod source. Previous mod disabled.  
The signal generator has three sources: INT, EXT1, and EXT2 that are  
shared by the FM1/PM1, AM1/AM2, FM2/PM2, pulse (INT and EXT2),  
and burst envelope (EXT1 only). Each source can be used by only one  
modulation at a time. If a source is being used by an active modulation,  
and a request for the source is made by another modulation, the first  
modulation is turned off and the second modulation is turned on.  
Settings conflict; External burst cannot be on while using AM.  
There is a hardware conflict for the burst envelope using the EXT1 source  
(I/Q menu) and AM1/AM2. The most recently requested modulation will be  
turned on, the previous modulation will be turned off.  
Settings conflict; External data cannot be selected for  
multiple channels. PN9 is automatically selected for <CHANNEL  
NAME>.  
The current hardware supports only one external data source at a time.  
The <CHANNEL NAME> data source has been changed to the default  
data source, PN9.  
Settings conflict; FFCH/OCNS and QPCH cannot be on at the same  
time. QPCH has been tuned off.  
QPCH is generated using both channel 3 and 4. Channel 3 has been  
turned on to generate FFCH or OCNS. Channel 4 can no longer generate  
QPCH. Therefore, QPCH must be turned off.  
Settings conflict; FM1/PM1 value set less than FM2/PM2 value.  
FM2/PM2 changed to match FM1/PM1 value.  
The deviation of FM2/PM2 must always be less than or equal to the  
deviation settings for FM1/PM1. This error will be reported to the queue  
when FM2/PM2 is enabled and FM1/PM1 is also enabled and an  
adjustment to either FM1/PM1 deviation causes the FM1 or PM1  
deviation to be less than the FM2 or PM2 deviation. It will also be reported  
when FM1/PM1 is being turned on, and the last FM2/PM2 deviation  
setting is greater than the current FM1/PM1 deviation setting. In both  
cases the FM2/PM2 deviation will be adjusted to match the FM1/PM1  
deviation.

All traffic channels (F-FCH, F-SCH) can use a user file as a data source,  
but they must all use the same user file. The <CHANNEL NAME> data  
has been changed to <FILE NAME> file.  
Settings conflict; Pattern repeat is changed to continuous  
because data source is external.  
Single is not a valid repeat setting for an external data source.  
Settings conflict; PDC and NADC Custom protocols are now  
uplink protocols, so the timeslots with Custom selected were  
changed to Downlink Custom.  
Because PDC or NADC has downlink protocols selected and also has  
Custom in one or more timeslots, the timeslots with Custom are set to  
Downlink Custom. Otherwise, the timeslots with Custom are set to Uplink  
Custom. Downlink Custom has its own instrument state information for  
the Data type and Fix 4 value.  
Settings conflict; PHS or TETRA scramble can not be on when
