Error
Number String
-109 "Missing parameter"
[Fewer parameters were recieved than required for the header]
-112 "Program mnemonic too long"
[The header contains more than twelve characters (see IEEE 488.2,
7.6.1.4.1).]
-113 "Undefined header"
[The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined for this specific de-
vice; for example, *XYZ is not defined for any device.]
-120 "Numeric data error"
[This error, as well as errors -121 through -129, are generated when pars-
ing a data element which appears to be numeric, including the nondecimal
numeric types. This error message is used if the device cannot detect a
more specific error.]
-121 "Invalid character in number"
[An invalid character for the data type being parsed was encountered; for
example, an alpha in a decimal numeric]
-123 "Exponent too large"
[The magnitude of the exponent was larger than 32000 (see IEEE
488.2,7.7.2.4.1).]
-124 "Too many digits"
[The mantissa of a decimal numeric data element contained more than 255
digits excluding leading zeros (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).]
-128 "Numeric data not allowed"
[A legal numeric data element was received, but the device does not ac-
cept one in this position for the header.]
-131 "Invalid suffix"
[The suffix does not follow the syntax described in IEEE 488.2, 7.7.3.2, or
thesuffix is inappropriate for this device.]
-134 "Suffix too long"
[The suffix contained more than 12 characters (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.3.4).]
-138 "Suffix not allowed"
[A suffix was encountered after a numeric element which does not allow
suffixes.]
-141 "Invalid character data"
[Either the character data element contains an invalid character or the par-
ticular element received is not valid for the header.]
-148 "Character data not allowed"
[A legal character data element was encountered where prohibited by the
device.]
