–123 “Exponent too large” The magnitude of the exponent was larger than
32000 (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).
–124 “Too many digits” The mantissa of a decimal numeric data element
contained more than 255 digits excluding leading
zeros (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).
–128 “Numeric data not
allowed”
A legal numeric data element was received, but
the device does not accept one in this position for
the header.
–130 “Suffix error” This error, as well as errors –131 through –139, are
generated when parsing a suffix. This particular

IEEE 488.2, 7.7.3.2, or the suffix is inappropriate for
this device.
–134 “Suffix too long” The suffix contained more than 12 characters (see

–138 “Suffix not allowed” A suffix was encountered after a numeric element
which does not allow suffixes.
–140 “Character data error” This error, as well as errors –141 through –149, are
generated when parsing a character data element.
This particular error message should be used if the
device cannot detect a more specific error.
–141 “Invalid character data” Either the character data element contains an
invalid character or the particular element
received is not valid for the header.
–144 “Character data tool
long”
The character data element contains more than
twelve characters (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.1.4).
–148 “Character data not
