Command Error List

An error in the range [-199, -100] indicates that an IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the instrument’s parser. The occurrence of any error in this class causes the command error bit (bit 5) in the Event Status Register to be set.

Table B-1Command Error List

Error Code	Error Message Description	B
-100	Command error
	This is the generic syntax error
-102	Syntax Error
	An unrecognized command or data type was encountered; for
	example, a string was received when the device does not accept
	strings.
-108	Parameter not Allowed
	More parameters were received than expected for the header;
	for example, the *SRE common command only accepts one
	parameter, so receiving *SRE 0,1 is not allowed.
-109	Missing Parameter
	Fewer parameters were received than required for the header;
	for example, the *SAV common command requires one
	parameter, so receiving *SAV is not allowed.
-110	Command header error
	An error was detected in the header.
-113	Undefined header
	The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined for this
	specific device; for example, *XYZ is not defined for any
	device.
-121	Invalid character in number
	An invalid character for the data type being parsed was
	encountered; for example, an alpha in a decimal numeric or a
	“9" in octal data.
-140	Character data error
	This error is generated when parsing a character data element.
-150	String data error
	This error is generated when parsing a string data element fails.
-151	Invalid string data
	A string data element was expected, but was invalid for some
	reason (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.5.2); for example, an END
	message was received before the terminal quote character.
