Device-Specific Error Messages
[−399 to −300]
An error number in the range [−399 to −300] indicates that the
instrument has detected an error where some device operations did not
properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware
condition. This is not a error in response to a SCPI query or command,
or command execution. These errors are also used for self-test response
errors. The occurrence of any error in this class will cause the
device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register to be set.
