Lightwave Communications LDX-3232 User Manual

In the event of a hardware error condition, error messages will be displayed on the 
display. In most cases, the error message will appear for three seconds. In some 
cases the error code display will remain until the user changes display modes. In 
the case of multiple error messages, the display may sequentially show each 
message for three seconds. In addition to the hardware errors, GPIB errors may 
be read via the ERR? query. Table 3.4 lists the numerical error ranges by function. 
Table 3.5 contains all of the error messages that may be generated. Not all of 
these messages may appear on the front panel displays. Some refer to GPIB 
activities only.

In remote operation, the errors can be read by issuing the ERR? query. When this 
is done, all of the error messages that are resident in the error queue are returned 
(up to 10 may be stored). Reading the error queue via GPIB clears the error 
queue.
