General Information About Error Messages
Information concerning error messages displayed by the Test Set may
be found in one of the following manuals:
• HP 8935 Programmer’s Guide
• HP 8935 Assembly Level Repair Manual
• HP Instrument BASIC User’s Handbook:
• A Beginner’s Guide to SCPI
The format of the displayed message determines which manual
contains information about the error message. There are four basic
error message formats:
• Positive numbered error messages
• IBASIC error messages
• HP-IB error messages
• Text only error messages
The following paragraphs give a brief description of each message
format and direct you to the manual to look in for information about
error messages displayed in that format.
Positive Numbered Error Messages
Positive numbered error messages are generally associated with
IBASIC. Refer to the HP Instrument BASIC User’s Handbook for
information on IBASIC error messages.
Positive numbered error messages take the form:
ERROR XX
For example:
Error 54 Duplicate file name
or
Error 80 in 632 Medium changed or not in drive
