Error Message Types
201 to 799:
Device-Specific
Errors
These errors indicate that a device operation did not properly complete,
possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. These
codes are also used for self-test response errors. Errors in this class set
the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE
488.2, section 11.5.1).
The <error_message> string for a positive error is not part of the SCPI
standard. A positive error indicates that the instrument detected an
error within the GPIB system, within the instrument firmware or
hardware, during the transfer of block data, or during calibration.
