4.3.2 ERROR MESSAGES
The PPC2 AF will always reply to a command. If the command is incorrect or contains invalid
data, an error number will be returned in the form “ERR# n” where n is an integer number that
represents a specific error. This allows for easy error trapping by the host computer. Here is
a list of the possible errors numbers and the error description for each:
