Error
Number
-271
Macro syntax error. Indicates that that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence, according to IEEE 488.2,
10.7.2, could not be executed due to a syntax error within the macro definition (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3.)
-272
Macro execution error. 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.)
-273
Illegal macro label. Indicates that the macro label defined in the *DMC command was a legal string syntax, but could
not be accepted by the device (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.3 and 10.7.6.2); for example, the label was too long, the same as
a common command header, or contained invalid header syntax.
-274
Macro parameter error. Indicates that the macro definition improperly used a macro parameter placeholder (see IEEE
488.2, 10.7.3).
-275
Macro definition too long. Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not be executed
because the string or block contents were too long for the device to handle (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.1).
-276
Macro recursion error. Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not be executed because
the device found it to be recursive (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.6).
-277
Macro redefinition not allowed. Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in the *DMC command could not be
executed because the macro label was already defined (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.4).
-278
Macro header not found. Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in the *GMC? query could not be executed
because the header was not previously defined.
-280
Program error. Indicates that a downloaded program-related execution error occurred. This error message is used
when the device cannot detect the more specific errors described for errors -281 through -289.
A downloaded program is used to add algorithmic capability to a device. The syntax used in the program and the
mechanism for downloading a program is device-specific.
-281
Cannot create program. Indicates that an attempt to create a program was unsuccessful. A reason for the failure
might include not enough memory.
-282
Illegal program name. The name used to reference a program was invalid; for example, redefining an existing program,
deleting a nonexistent program, or in general, referencing a nonexistent program.
-283
Illegal variable name. An attempt was made to reference a nonexistent variable in a program.
-284
Program currently running. Certain operations dealing with programs may be illegal while the program is running; for
example, deleting a running program might not be possible.
-285
Program syntax error. Indicates that a syntax error appears in a downloaded program. The syntax used when parsing
the downloaded program is device-specific.
-286
Program runtime error
