Execution Error - HP 83751A Programming Manual

Error Messages

Execution Error

An <error/event number> in the range [ -299, -200 ] indicates that an
error has been detected by the instrument's execution control block. The
occurrence of any error in this class shall cause the execution error bit (bit 4)
in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section ll.S. 1) to be set. one of the
following events has occurred:
A <PROGRAM DATA> element following a header was evaluated by the
l
device as outside of its legal input range or is otherwise inconsistent with
the device's capabilities.
A valid program message could not be properly executed due to some
l
device condition.
Execution errors shall be reported by the device after rounding and
expression evaluation operations have taken place. Rounding a numeric data
element, for example, shall not be reported as an execution error. Events that
generate execution errors shall not generate Command Errors, device-specific
errors, or Query Errors; see the other error dehnitions in this section.
