SCPI-Based Errors
FTB-500
385
–180 “Macro error” This error, as well as errors –181 through –189, are
generated when defining a macro or executing a
macro. This particular error message should be
used if the device cannot detect a more specific
error.
–181 “Invalid outside macro
definition”
Indicates that a macro parameter placeholder
($<number) was encountered outside of a macro
definition.
–183 “Invalid inside macro
definition”
Indicates that the program message unit sequence,
sent with a *DDT or *DMC command, is
syntactically invalid (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3).
–184 “Macro parameter
error”
Indicates that a command inside the macro
definition had the wrong number or type of
parameters.
–200 “Execution error” This is the generic syntax error for devices that
cannot detect more specific errors. This code
indicates only that an Execution Error as defined in
IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5 has occurred.
–201 “Invalid while in local” Indicates that a command is not executable while
the device is in local due to a hard local control
(see IEEE 488.2, 5.6.1.5); for example, a device with
a rotary switch receives a message which would
change the switches state, but the device is in local
so the message can not be executed.
–202 “Settings lost due to rtl” Indicates that a setting associated with a hard local
control (see IEEE 488.2, 5.6.1.5) was lost when the
device changed to LOCS from REMS or to LWLS
from RWLS.
–203 “Command protected” Indicates that a legal password-protected program
command or query could not be executed
because the command was disabled.
