Explanation and examples
Indicates that a legal program data element of block, expression, or string
type received that contained more data than the instrument could handle due
to memory or related instrument-specific requirements.
Used where exact value, from a list of possible values, was expected.
Possibly invalid data; new reading started but not completed since last
access.
One or more data elements sent with a MEASure or CONFigure command
was ignored by the instrument.
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed
because of a hardware problem in the instrument. Definition of what
constitutes a hardware problem is completely device specific. This error
message is used when the instrument cannot detect the more specific errors
described for errors –241 through –249.
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed
because of missing instrument hardware; for example, an option was not
installed. Definition of what constitutes missing hardware is completely
device specific.
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed
because the media was full; for example, there is no room on the disk. The
definition of what constitutes a full media is device specific.
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed
because the media was protected; for example, the write-protect tab on
a disk was present. The definition of what constitutes protected media is
device specific.
Indicates that an expression-program data-element- related error occurred.
This error message is used when the instrument cannot detect the more
specific errors described for errors –261 through –269.
Indicates that a syntactically correct expression program data element
could not be executed due to a math error; for example, a divide-by-zero
was attempted.
Indicates that a macro-related execution error occurred. This error message
is used when the instrument cannot detect the more specific error described
for errors –271 through –279.
No room for any more macro names.
No room for this macro definition.
Indicates that a syntactically correct 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)
