bit (bit 5) of the Standard Event Status Register.

GPIB
Parameter programmed is out of range. Err7 indicates a
parameter was set out of range, or a command could not be
completed because of an overload. This error will set the

Err8

overflowed and was cleared. This error could be caused by

requesting and receiving the data). This error will set the Query
Error bit (bit 2) of the Standard Event Status Register.
