not be executed because the interpreted value was outside the 
legal range as defined by the device (see IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5)

Device-Specific Error List 
An error in the range [-399, 300] or [1, 32767] indicates that the 
instrument has detected an error which is not a command error, a query 
error, or an execution error; some device operations did not properly 
complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. 
These codes are also used for self-test response errors. The occurrence 
of any error in the class causes the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the 
Event Status Register to be set. 
Table B-3  Device-Specific Error List 
Error Message Description 
Device-specific error. Indicates that the power supply could not 
complete the operation due to some condition of the power 
supply. 
Configuration Memory Lost 
Queue Overflow A specific code entered into the queue in lieu of 
the code that caused the error. This code indicates that there is no 
room in the queue and an error occurred but was not recorded. 
Communication error

Input buffer overrun Software or hardware input buffer on serial 
port overflows with data caused by improper or nonexistent
