header containing an ampersand, SETUP&. This error might be used in place of errors
-121, -141, and perhaps some others.

the semicolon was omitted after a program unit, *EMC1;CH1:VOLTS5.

8
Parameter not allowed
More parameters were received than expected for the header. For example, the *EMC
common command only accepts one parameter, so receiving *EMC0,1 is not allowed.

9
Missing parameter
Fewer parameters were received than required for the header. For example, the *EMC
common command requires one parameter, so receiving *EMC is not allowed.

Header separator error
A character which is not a legal header separator was encountered while parsing the
header. For example, no white space followed the header, thus *GMC”MACRO” is in
error.

Program mnemonic too long
The header contains more than twelve characters (see IEEE 488.2, 7.6.1.4.1).
