User Manual 3153
SCPI Command Reference 4-23
Errors have the following format (the error string may contain up to 80
characters):
-102,"Syntax error"
A complete listing of the errors that can be detected by the generator is given
below.
-100,"Command error". When the generator cannot detect more specific errors,
this is the generic syntax error used.
-101,"Invalid Character". A syntactic element contains a character, which is
invalid for that type.
-102,"Syntax error". Invalid syntax found in the command string.
-103,"Invalid separator". An invalid separator was found in the command string.
A comma may have been used instead of a colon or a semicolon. In some cases
where the generator cannot detect a specific separator, it may return error -100
instead of this error.
-104,"Data type error". The parser recognized a data element different than
allowed.
-108,"Parameter not allowed". More parameters were received than expected
for the header.
-109,"Missing parameter". Too few parameters were received for the command.
One or more parameters that were required for the command were omitted.
-128."Numeric data not allowed". A legal numeric data element was received, but
the instrument does not accept one in this position.
-131,"Invalid suffix". A suffix was incorrectly specified for a numeric parameter.
The suffix may have been misspelled.
-148,"Character data not allowed". A character data element was encountered
where prohibited by the instrument.
-200,"Execution error". This is the generic syntax error for the instrument when
it cannot detect more specific errors. Execution error as defined in IEEE-488.2
has occurred.
-221,"Setting conflict". Two conflicting parameters were received which cannot
be executed without generating an error. Listed below are events causing
setting conflicts:
Any operating mode
Sum of Pulse parameters more than 100%
Sum of Ramp parameters more than 100%
Amp offset exceed range
INIT:CONT OFF;:TRIG:BURST ON;:FUNC:MODE SEQ
