Execution errors shall be reported by the device after rounding and
expression evaluation operations have taken place. Rounding a
numeric data element, for example, shall not be reported as an
execution error. Events that generate execution errors shall not
generate Command Errors, device-specific errors, or Query Errors;
see the other error definitions in this section.
Error
code
Description
-200
Execution error
This is the generic syntax error for devices that
cannot detect more specific errors. This code
indicates only that an Execution Error as defined in
IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5 has occurred.
-201
Invalid while in
local
Indicates that a command is not executable while
the device is in local due to a hard local control (see
IEEE 488.2, 5.6.1.5); for example, a device with a
rotary switch receives a message which would
change the switches state, but the device is in local
so the message cannot be executed.
-203
Command
protected
Indicates that a legal password-protected program
command or query could not be executed because
the command was disabled.
-211
Trigger ignored
Indicates that a GET, *TRG, or triggering signal was
received and recognized by the device but was
ignored because of device timing considerations; for
example, the device was not ready to respond. Note:
a DT0 device always ignores GET and treats *TRG
as a Command Error.
-213
Init ignored
Indicates that a request for a measurement initiation
was ignored as another measurement was already
in progress.
-220
Parameter error
Indicates that a program data element related error
occurred. This error message should be used when
the device cannot detect the more specific errors
described for errors -221 through -229.
-221
settings conflict
Indicates that a legal program data element was
parsed but could not be executed due to the current
device state (see IEEE 488.2, 6.4.5.3 and
11.5.1.1.5.).
-222
Data out of
range
Indicates that a legal program data element was
parsed but could not be executed because the
interpreted value was outside the legal range as
defined by the device (see IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5.).
-224
Illegal
parameter
value
This parameter can not be specified.
