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 spe-
cific 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 com-
mand string. A comma may have been used instead of a colon or a
semicolon. In some cases where the generator cannot detect a spe-
cific separator, it may return error -100 instead of this error.
-104,"Data type error". The parser recognized a data element differ-
ent 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 com-
mand 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 en-
countered where prohibited by the instrument.
-200,"Execution error". This is the generic syntax error for the instru-
ment 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.
1. Sum of pulse or ramp parameters is more than 100. Corrective
action: Change parameters to correct the problem.
2. ampl/2 + |offset| is more than 4. Corrective action: Reduce offset
to 0, then change amplitude-offset values to correct the problem.
