Execution Errors

-168	Block data not allowed
	Data was sent to the instrument in SCPI definite length block format but
	this command does not accept this format. Example: SOUR:DIG:DATA #128
-178	Expression data not allowed
	A channel list was received but is not allowed for this command.
	Example: SYST:CTYPE? (@100)
-211	Trigger ignored
	More than one trigger was received while the instrument was scanning.
	Triggers are occurring too frequently and you may need to slow them
	down. Also make sure that you have selected the proper trigger source.
-213	INIT ignored
	An INITiate command was received but could not be executed because
	a scan was already in progress. Send an ABORt command or bus Device
	Clear to stop a scan in progress.
-214	Trigger deadlock
	A trigger deadlock occurs when the trigger source is “BUS” and a READ?
	command is received.
-221	Settings conflict
	An invalid configuration was requested. This error is most commonly
	generated when setting alarm limits. Note that the lower limit must
	always be less than or equal to the upper limit, even if you are using
	only one of the limits. This error is also generated if you send the
	MEASure? or CONFigure command with autorange enabled with a
	fixed resolution.
-222	Data out of range	6
	A numeric parameter value is outside the valid range for this command.
	Example: TRIG:COUNT -3
-223	Too much data
	A character string was received but could not be executed because the
	string length was more than 12 characters. This error can be generated
	by the CAL:STRing and DISPlay:TEXT commands.
-224	Illegal parameter value
	A discrete parameter was received which was not a valid choice for this
	command. You may have used an invalid parameter choice.
	Example: TRIG:SOURCE ALARM (ALARM is not a valid choice)
