Description
Indicates a legal character data element was
encountered where prohibited by the device.
This error, as well as errors -151 through -159, are
generated when parsing a string data element. This
particular error message is used if the device cannot
detect a more specific error.
Indicates that 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.
Indicates that a string data element was encountered
but was not allowed by the device at this point in
parsing.
This error, as well as errors -161 through -169, are
generated when parsing a block data element. This
particular error message is used if the device cannot
detect a more specific error.
Indicates a block data element was expected, but was
invalid, see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.6.2. For example, and
END message was received before the end length was
satisfied.
Indicates a legal block data element was encountered,
but not allowed by the device at this point in parsing.
This error, as well as errors -171 through -179, are
generated when parsing an expression data element.
This particular error message is used if the device
cannot detect a more specific error.
Indicates the expression data element was invalid, see
IEEE 488.2, 7.7.7.2. For example, unmatched
parentheses or an illegal character.
Indicates a legal expression data was encountered, but
was not allowed by the device at this point in parsing.
This error, as well as error -181 through -189, are
generated when defining a macro or execution a macro.
This particular error message is used if the device
cannot detect a more specific error.
Indicates that a macro parameter place holder was
encountered outside of a macro definition.
Indicates that the program message unit sequence,
sent with a *DDT or a *DMC command, is
syntactically invalid, see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3.
