IBASIC Error Messages

IBASIC Error Messages are associated with IBASIC operation. IBASIC error messages can have both positive and negative numbers. Refer to the Agilent Technologies Instrument BASIC User’s Handbook for information on positive numbered error messages. Refer to the GPIB Error Messages section of the Programmer’s Guide for information on negative numbered error messages (the error message associated with a negative number is the same for GPIB errors and IBASIC errors).

Example 11-4 IBASIC error messages take the form:

IBASIC Error: -XX

For example:

IBASIC Error: -286 Program runtime error
