Execution Error

5-5
-130 Suffix error
[This error, as well as errors -131 through -139, are generated when parsing a suffix.]
-131 Invalid suffix
[The suffix does not follow the syntax described in 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 IEEE 488.2, 7.7.3.4).]
-138 Suffix not allowed
[A suffix was encountered after a numeric element that does not allow suffixes.]
-140 Character data error
[This error is generated when parsing a character data element. For example INP:COUP
XYZ will generate this 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 too long
[The character data element contains more than twelve characters (see IEEE488.2,
7.7.1.4).]
-148 Character data not allowed
[A legal character data element was encountered where prohibited by the device.]
-150 String data error
[This error is generated when parsing a string data element. For example FUNC "XYZ"
will generate this error.]
-151 Invalid string data
[A string data element was expected, but was invalid for some reason (see IEEE488.2,
7.7.5.2); for example, an END message was received before the terminal quote
character.]
Execution Error
An <error/event number> in the range [ -299 , -200 ] indicates that an error has been
detected by the instrument’s execution control block. The occurrence of any error in this
class shall cause the execution error bit (bit 4) in the event status register (IEEE 488. 2,
section 11.5.1) to be set. One of the following events has occurred:
•
A <PROGRAM DATA> element following a header was evaluated by the device
as outside of its legal input range or is otherwise inconsistent with the device’s
capabilities.
•
A valid program message could not be properly executed due to some device
condition.
Execution errors are reported by the instrument after rounding and expression evaluation
operations have taken place. Rounding a numeric data element, for example, will not be
reported as an execution error.
