Hamilton Error Messages

[trand16]

Hey, is there anywhere from Hamilton that I can get a document explaining these types of Hex error codes?

(0x28 - 0x2 - 0x803)
(0x23 - 0x2 - 0x39)
(0x28 - 0x1 - 0x804)

Thanks?

Uhm, after years of working with Hamilton’s and Venus the only errors I get are actual errors described in a logfile. So if you could add a logfile (or just a screenshot from the log) when those errors happend, we can check for you.

Now it kinda looks like we’re about to have a Harry Potter moment and unfogging the future. But I have no clue what’s going on

Hey thanks for the message, Pascal. So, actually, I think I’m more interested in the error descriptions displayed in the log files now that I think about it. Does Hamilton have a list of all possible error messages and possibly a list of potential causes for each error message? Sometimes the error message is descriptive enough for you to figure out what is going on, sometimes it is confusing.

So error descriptions like this:

It epnds, there is a difference in errors but it always comes down on understanding what is programmed. For example, a barcode error (just a simple reading error) can cause your datahandling to fail. The error message would then point towards your datahandling whilst in reality it is aimed towards your barcode reading.

There is this ErrLib in Venus, it also has the option GetErrDescription. Perhaps that’s one of interest for you.

Other errors should always be quite descriptive. Happy to help you if you have more questions.

(before I forget, imagine you are using 1 channels to aspirate. Channel 1 has an error. Then channel 2-8 will have an error called “Not Executed” which is technically not an error.)

Hey,

Thanks for the message @Pascal

We are able to get the error description into the log file. I was just curious if there is like a pdf of all possible error descriptions from Venus? If it has the possible causes of the descriptions as well, even better.

Thanks!

Hi David,

We don’t have one comprehensive document with all error types, but we can work on compiling what we have and start sharing that.

Please allow my team some time though - we can work on this in the new year!

Thank you,

Eric

maybe not helpful in your specific case, but still interesting:

still has no specific information on your hex codes in its training set, but may be able to act as a troubleshooting buddy:

@trand16 if you are familliair with StepReturnValues there are alot of those documented. However, I included some screenshots from a document I am using for years now.

When I developed my own set of datahandling SMT’s I got these all in a PDF. But you can also look for these in the firmware refernce guides.

Thank you @Pascal !!
