"No error"

"Command error"
Generally the result of sending a
command that uses incorrect syntax.
This same error may result from the
inability of the AC source to process
successive GPIB non-query commands
sent to it. To avoid this condition, it is
necessary for the application
programmer to insert a 20 msec delay
between commands.
-200
"Execution error"
Generally the result of sending a value
that is out of range, i.e., a VOLT 200
command when the unit is in the 135 V
(Low) range.
-300
"Device specific error"
Generally the result of an over current
(current limit trip) or over temperature
condition.
-350
"Queue overflow"
Generally caused by too many errors
being generated without reading error
status, causing error buffer to overflow.
-400
"Query error"
Generally caused by sending a query
followed by another command without
accepting the query response first.
