Error Codes
Standard
-150
“String data error”
[This error, as well as errors -151 through -159, are generated when parsing a string data
element. This error message is used when the
device
cannot detect a more specific error.]
Standard
-151
“Invalid string data”
[A string data element was expected, but was invalid for some reason (see
IEEE 488.
2,
7.7.5.2); for example, an END message was received before the terminal quote character.]
Standard
-158
“String data not allowed”
[A string data element was encountered but was not allowed by the
device
at this point in
parsing.]
Standard
-161
“Invalid block data”
[A block data element was expected, but was invalid for some reason (see
IEEE 488.
2,
7.7.6.2); for example, an END message was received before the length was satisfied.]
Standard
-168
“Block data not allowed”
[A legal block data element was encountered but was not allowed by the
device
at this
point in parsing.]
Standard
-170
“Expression error”
[This error, as well as errors -171 through -179, are generated when parsing an
expression data element. This particular error message is used when the
device
cannot
detect a more specific error.]
Standard
-171
“Invalid expression”
[The expression data element was invalid (see
IEEE 488.
2, 7.7.7.2); for example,
unmatched parentheses or an illegal character.]
Standard
-178
“Expression data not allowed”
[A legal expression data was encountered but was not allowed by the
device
at this point
in parsing.]
Standard
-181
“Invalid outside macro definition”
[Indicates that a macro parameter placeholder ($<number) was encountered outside of a
macro definition.]
Standard
-183
“Invalid inside macro definition”
[Indicates that the program message unit sequence, sent with a *DDT or *DMC command,
is syntactically invalid (see
