Execution Errors

Number

Title

Description

 

 

 

-101

Invalid character

An invalid character was found in the command string. You may have

 

 

inserted a character such as #, $, or % in the command header or

 

 

within a parameter. Example: INP:FILT:FREQ#6E3

 

 

 

-102

Syntax error

Invalid syntax was found in the command string. You may have

 

 

inserted a blank space before or after a colon in the command header,

 

 

or before a comma. Example: SAMP:COUN,1

 

 

 

-103

Invalid separator

An invalid separator was found in the command string. You may have

 

 

used a comma instead of a colon, semicolon, or blank space, you may

 

 

have used a comma where none was required – or you may have used

 

 

a blank space instead of a comma. Example: TRIG:LEV,1 or DATA?

 

 

400 1

 

 

 

-104

Data type error

The wrong parameter type was found in the command string. You may

 

 

have specified a number where a string was expected, or vice-versa.

 

 

Example: SAMP:COUN '150' or SAMP:COUN A

 

 

 

-105

GET not allowed

A Group Execute Trigger (GET) is not allowed within a command

 

 

string.

 

 

 

-108

Parameter not

More parameters were received than expected for the command. You

 

allowed

may have entered an extra parameter or you added a parameter to a

 

 

command that does not accept a parameter. Example: SYST:ERR? 10

 

 

 

-109

Missing parameter

Fewer parameters were received than expected for the command.

 

 

You omitted one or more parameters that are required for this

 

 

command. Example: SAMP:COUN

 

 

 

-112

Program mnemonic

A command header was received which contained more than the

 

too long

maximum 12 characters allowed.

 

 

Example: SAMPLE:PRETRIGGER:COUNT 10

 

 

 

-113

Undefined header

A command was received that is not valid for this digitizer. You may

 

 

have misspelled the command or it may not be a valid command.

 

 

If you are using the short form of the command, it may contain up to

 

 

four letters. Example: TRIGG:LEV 1.2

 

 

 

-121

Invalid character in

An invalid character was found in the number specified for a parameter

 

number

value. Example: STAT:QUES:ENAB #B01010102
