RDAG12-8 Manual

Error Codes

The following error codes can be returned from the Pod:

1: 

Invalid channel number (too large, or not a number. All channel numbers must be between
00 and 07).

3: 

Improper Syntax. (Not enough parameters is the usual culprit).

4: 

Channel number is invalid for this task (For example if you try to output to a bit that is set
as an input bit, that will cause this error).

9: 

Parity error. (This occurs when some part of the received data contains a parity or framing
error).

Additionally, several full-text error codes are returned. All begin with "Error, " and are useful when
using a terminal to program the Pod.

Error, Unrecognized Command: {command received}[CR]

This occurs if the command is not recognized.

Error, Command not fully recognized: {Command received}[CR]

This occurs if the first letter of the command is valid, but the remaining letters are not.

Error, Address command must be CR terminated[CR]
 

This occurs if the address command (!xx[CR]) has extra characters between the Pod number
and the [CR].
