Start-up Error
Messages
Start-up errors are most often generated just after the mainframe is powered-up
or re-booted (DIAG:BOOT command). If you have an Agilent E1301B, or an
Agilent E1300B with a terminal connected to the Display Terminal Interface
(built-in RS-232 only), you can read these errors on the front panel or terminal.
If you have an Agilent E1300B and no terminal, then you must access this error
information by sending the VXI:CONF:DLIS? command over GPIB. We
recommend that users of either model include a routine at the beginning if their
application program which checks for start-up errors before the program trys to
access individual instruments. See your Installation and Getting Started Guide
for an example program.
