Here is another problem that just appeared on my 2450; first time I've seen this issue.
- Like the previous "blue screen of death" I posted about, this issue also occured immediately after the SMU was turned on.
Maybe there's something(s) wrong with system initialization under some circumstances.
Video:
hereSequence of steps that caused the problem:
1. Power on; system appears to boot normally.
2. Select "Quickset" > "Power Supply"
3. Settings: 4V, 1A, 2-Wire Sense
4. "Error -286" message has appears mentioning about "TSP Runtime error...".
Press "OK" to close the dialog.
- Notice in the image/video the text in the middle of the top bar that typically reads "defbuffer1" is showing the characters "}C}B,", which is very odd.
>> I started the video from this moment to capture what was happening. Watch the video to see sequence of steps.
Notes:
- "Error -286" message has appears mentioning about "TSP Runtime error..." I wonder if that means the error is script related?
- As shown in the video I do have a TSP script in the instruments memory, but I have not selected anything to cause the script to run. It seems to attempt to run the script itself...or perhaps the "TSP Runtime error" is unrelated to the script in memory.
- In the video I show going through a sequence of steps with "QuickSet" that has nothing to do with TSP scripts and yet the same error is repeated.
- I delete the script from internal memory and the issue still occurs. This suggests the error may have nothing to do with the TSP script in the memory.
- I power cycle the instrument and after boot it works normally.
I have informed Keithley about this issue also.
