Agilent Technologies E1564A, E1563A user manual Ext, Digitizers Error Messages Appendix C

Number	Title	Description
-123	Numeric overflow	A numeric parameter was found whose exponent was larger than
		32,000. Example: SAMP:COUN 1E34000
-124	Too many digits	A numeric parameter was found whose mantissa contained more than
		255 digits, excluding leading zeroes.
-128	Numeric data not	A numeric parameter was found but a character string was expected.
	allowed	Check the list of parameters to verify you have used a correct
		parameter type. Example: TRIG:SOUR 2 EXT (should be TRIG:SOUR2
		EXT)
-138	Suffix not allowed	A suffix was received following a numeric parameter which does not
		accept a suffix. Example: SAMP:COUN 1 SEC (SEC is not a valid suffix).
-148	Character data not	A character string was received but a numeric parameter was
	allowed	expected. Check the list of parameters to verify that you have used a
		valid parameter type. Example: CAL:VAL XYZ
-158	String data not	A character string was received but is not allowed for the command.
	allowed	Check the list of parameters to verify that you have used a valid
		parameter type. Example: CALC:LIM:LOW:STAT 'ON
-160 to -168	Block data errors	The digitizer does accept block data.
-170 to -178	Expression errors	The digitizer does not accept mathematical expressions.
-211	Trigger ignored	A Group Execute Trigger (GET) or *TRG was received but the trigger
		was ignored. Make sure the digitizer is in the “wait-for-trigger” state
		before issuing a trigger, and make sure the correct trigger source is
		selected.
-213	Init ignored	An INITiate command was received but could not be executed
		because a measurement was already in progress. Send a device clear
		to halt a measurement in progress and place the digitizer in the “idle”
		state.
-214	Sample Trigger	You tried to read data before readings are finished, but the sample
	deadlock	source is keeping readings from being taken. It is possible to request
		reading data before the measurment is entirely completed, and
		normally this will work.
		However, if your sample source is BUS or HOLD and you request
		reading data, the instrument can no longer receive the command to
		begin sampling because it is busy waiting to bring back data - a
		deadlock could occur. So, we generate an error when we detect this
		situation and abort the fetching of data.
-215	Arm Trigger	Same situation as for Sample Trigger deadlock, except the Trigger
	deadlock	source (or Arm source) is set to BUS or HOLD (which requires a
		software command to proceed), so you would be deadlocked waiting
		for a trigger which could never occur because the system is busy
		waiting for data to show up in the reading buffer.
