Below is a description of possible error codes and their interpretation.
Your program should examine the status code from each call to an
instrument driver function to determine if an error occurred.
VISA Errors
These error codes are defined by the VISA I/O library function
standards. These errors are defined in the header file "visa.h". These
error codes are typically in the range 0xBFFF0000L to 0xBFFFFFFFL
(-1073807360 to -1073741825).
RI3156B Driver Errors
Errors returned from the RI3156B drivers be between 0xBFFC0800
and 0xBFFC0FFF are described in the source code for
ri3156B_error_message() function. This function may be used to
convert the error code to a meaningful error message.
Use this document as a programming reference manual. It describes
each function in the Racal 3156B Arbitrary Waveform Generator
instrument. The functions appear in grouped order, with a description
of the function and its C syntax, a description of each parameter, and
a list of possible error codes.
