EADR 3
The GPIB-MAC records this error when it is not addressed
to listen or to talk before read and write calls when it is not
the Controller-In-Charge. The remedy is to be sure that the
Controller addresses the GPIB-MAC to talk or listen before
attempting the
or
rd.
EARG 4
The GPIB-MAC 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 .OOOOl-3600
sic
called with a value not in the range .OOOl-3600
called with meaningless termination method identifiers
called with the value
or 127.
ppc called
with illegal parallel poll configurations
If your programming message contains more than one
argument and you get this error, the GPIB-MAC discards all
arguments and does not perform the function.
This also may be caused by a transmission error which
corrupts the argument portion of the programming message
or which corrupts the
or
that terminates the
programming message. Use
stat
and
check serial-error
to
determine if a transmission error has occurred
ESAC
The GPIB-MAC records this error when
sic
or
sre is
called
when the GPIB-MAC does not have System Controller
capability. The remedy is to give the GPIB-MAC that
capability by calling
(At power on the GPIB-MAC
assumes itself to be the System Controller.)
EABO 6
The GPIB-MAC records this error when I/O has been
cancelled By far the most common cause of this error is a
timeout condition.
