–178 Expression data not allowed
A legal expression data was encountered, but was not allowed by the
device at this point in parsing.
–171 Invalid expression
The expression data element was invalid (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.7.2). For
example, unmatched parentheses or an illegal character.
–170 Expression data error
This error, as well as errors –171 through –179, is generated when parsing
an expression data element. This particular error message is used if the
device cannot detect a more specific error.
–168 Block data not allowed
A legal block data element was encountered, but not allowed by the device
at this point in the parsing.
–161 Invalid block data
A block data element was expected, but was invalid (see IEEE 488.2,
7.7.6.2). For example, an END message was received before the end length
was satisfied .
–160 Block data error
This error, as well as errors –161 through –169, is generated when parsing
a block data element. This particular error message is used if the device
cannot detect a more specific error.
–158 String data not allowed
A string data element was encountered, but not allowed by the device at
this point in the parsing.
–151 Invalid string data
A string data element was expected, but was invalid (see IEEE 488.2,
7.7.5.2). For example, an END message was received before the terminal
quote character.
–150 String data error
This error, as well as errors –151 through –159, is generated when parsing
a string data element. This particular error message is used if the device
cannot detect a more specific error.
–148 Character data not allowed
