GPIB Error Strings			Error Codes
Table 18 Overview for Supported Strings
		Error
	New/Old/Standard	Number	String
	New	-185	“Subop out of range”
			Description:
			Suboperations are parameters that are passed to refine the destination of
			a command. They are used to address slots, channels, laser selections and
			GPIB/SCPI register levels. This error is generated if the parameter is not
			valid in the current context or system configuration.
			Example:
			This error occurs if the user queries the status of a summary register and
			passes an invalid status level (also see "Status for 816x" on page 28 pro-
			grammer's guide).
			Note:
			Incorrect slots and channels addresses are handled by error code -301
	-200 to -299 Execution Errors
	Standard	-200	“Execution error (StatExecError)"
			Description:
			This error occurs when the current function, instrument or module state
			(or status) prevents the execution of a command. This is a generic error
			which can for a number of reasons.
			Example:
			When a powermeter has finished a logging application and data is avail-
			able, the user is not able to reconfigure the logging application parame-
			ters. First, the user must stop the logging application.
	New	-201	"Please be patient - GPIB currently locked out"
			Description:
			Some operations block the complete system. Since no sensible measure-
			ments are possible while this is true, the GPIB is locked out.
			Example:
			When ARA, Lambda zeroing or zeroing is executing on a TLS module, the
			GPIB is not accessible.
	New	-205	“Powermeter not running (StatMeterNotRunning)"
			Description:
			Some command and actions may stop the data aquisition unit of a power-
			meter. If a command fetches data, there may be no measurement values
			and this error is generated. Please check module state and repeat opera-
			tion.
