Query Error List 

An error number in the range [-499, -400] indicates that the output 
queue control of the instrument has detected a problem with the 
message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2, chapter 6. The 
occurrence of any error in this class causes the query error bit (bit 2) in 
the Event Status Register to be set.
