This is the generic query error.
Indicates that a condition causing an INTERRUPTED Query
error occurred. For example, a query followed by DAB or GET
before a response was completely sent.
Indicates that a condition causing an UNTERMINATED Query
error occurred. For example, the Counter was addressed to talk
and an incomplete program message was received.
Indicates that a condition causing a DEADLOCKED Query error
occurred. For example, both input buffer and output buffer are
full and the Counter cannot continue.
Indicates that a query was received in the same program
message after a query requesting an indefinite response
( for example, *IDN? or *OPT?) was executed.
:DIAGnostic:CALibration:INP:OFFS:AUTO ONCE failed.
:DIAGnostic:CALibration:INP2:OFFS:AUTO ONCE failed.
:DIAGnostic:CALibration:INP:GAIN:AUTO ONCE failed.
:DIAGnostic:CALibration:INP2:GAIN:AUTO ONCE failed.
:DIAGnostic:CALibration:INTerpolator:AUTO ONCE, *CAL?,
or :CALibration[:ALL]? failed.
:DIAGnostic:CALibration:ROSCillator:AUTO ONCE failed.
:DIAGnostic:CALibration:TINTerval:QUICk failed.
A measurement calibration failed on the last measurement.
Interpolator calibration failed on the last measurement;
therefore, no valid measurement was taken.
You have selected external reference and there is no external
reference applied to the rear-panel Ref In connector, or the
external signal is not an allowed frequency.
You have selected the auto reference mode and the Counter
detected that the external reference became invalid during the
measurement. Therefore, the current result is not valid, and the
Counter switches to using the internal reference.
*RCL failed.
*RCL failed because the register specified for recall is empty.
*SAV failed, or *RCL couldn ’t save to register 0.
A request to update a setting which is stored in the EEPROM
(:SYST:COMM:SER:TRAN:BAUD,
:SYST:COMM:SER:TRAN:PAR,
:SYST:COMM:SER:TRAN:PACE,
:SYST:COMM:SER:CONT:DTR, :DISP[:WIND]:TEXT:RAD,
:CAL[:DATA], or :DIAG:CAL: ...) resulted in a hardware failure.
