The GPIB-232CT records this error when you pass an
invalid argument to a function call. The following are
some examples:
•
tmo
called with a value not in the range .00001 to
3600.
•
sic
called with a value not in the range .0001 to
3600.
•
eos
called with meaningless termination method
identifiers.
•
caddr
called with the value 31.
•
ppc
called with illegal parallel poll configurations.
If your programming message contains more than one
argument and you get this error, the GPIB-232CT
discards all arguments and does not perform the function.
This also can be caused by a transmission error that
corrupts the argument portion of the programming
message or that corrupts the <CR> or <LF> that
terminates the programming message. Use
stat
and
check
serial-error
to determine if a transmission
error has occurred.

The GPIB-232CT records this error when
sic
or
sre
is
called when the GPIB-232CT does not have System
Controller capability. The remedy is to give the
GPIB-232CT that capability by calling
rsc
. (At power
on, the GPIB-232CT assumes itself to be the System
Controller.)
