Command error
This is the generic syntax error
Syntax Error
An unrecognized command or data type was encountered; for
example, a string was received when the device does not accept
strings.
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.
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
Command header error
An error was detected in the header.
Undefined header
The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined for this
specific device; for example, *XYZ is not defined for any
device.
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.
Character data error
This error is generated when parsing a character data element.
String data error
This error is generated when parsing a string data element fails.
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.
