Error Messages
Error Message Descriptions
(-123) Exponent too large
The magnitude of an exponent was greater than 32000
(see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).
(-121) Invalid character in number
An invalid character for the data type being parsed was
encountered (for example, an alpha in a decimal
numeric or a “9” in octal data).
(-120) Numeric data error
This error is generated when parsing a data element
which appears to be numeric, including non-decimal
numeric types. This particular error message is used if
the device cannot detect a more specific error.
(-114) Header suffix out of range
The value of a header suffix attached to a program
mnemonic makes the header invalid.
(-113) Undefined header
The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined
for this specific device (for example, *XYZ is not defined
for any device).
The command (header) may not be valid for the current
instrument mode. Use INST:SELect to change the
mode.
The command may not be valid for the current
(specified) measurement. (e.g. CALC:WAV:MARK:MAX
is not valid because the waveform measurement does
not use the marker maximum command.)
(-112) Program mnemonic too long
The header contains more than twelve characters (see
IEEE 488.2, 7.6.1.4.1).
(-111) Header separator error
A character which is not a legal header separator was
encountered while parsing the header.
(-110) Command header error
An error was detected in the header. This message is
used when the device cannot detect more specific
errors.
