–222

desc = “Data out of range”

 

help = “A numeric value was entered which is outside the legal range of values

 

for the parameter. The name of the parameter is listed at the end of the error

 

message.”

 

[Indicates that a legal program data element was parsed but could not be

 

executed because the interpreted value was outside the legal range as defined

 

by the device (see IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5.)]

–222

desc = “Span out of range”

 

help = “A numeric value was entered which is outside the legal range of values

 

for the span setting. This occurs if the value is too large less than zero or

 

between zero and 0.2nm. Zero span may not be entered by using the DOWN

 

arrow key from 0.2nm; a numeric value of zero must be entered instead.”

 

[Indicates that a legal program data element was parsed but could not be

 

executed because the interpreted value was outside the legal range as defined

 

by the device (see IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5.)]

–223

desc = “Too much data”

 

help = ““

 

[Indicates that a legal program data element of block, expression, or string type

 

was received that contained more data than the device could handle due to

 

memory or related device-specific requirements.]

–224

desc = “Illegal parameter value”

 

help = ““

 

[Used where exact value, from a list of possibles, was expected.]

–257

desc = “File name error”

 

help = ““

 

[Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed

 

because the file name on the device media was in error; for example, an attempt

 

was made to copy to a duplicate file name. The definition of what constitutes a

 

file name error is device-specific.]

–272

desc = “Macro Exec Error”

 

help = ““

 

[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not be

 

executed due to some error in the macro definition (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3.)]
