Error Messages
-199 to -100: Command Errors
-131 Invalid suffix
The suffix does not follow the syntax described in IEEE
488.2, 7.7.3.2, or the suffix is inappropriate for this
device.
-109 Missing parameter
Fewer parameters were received than required for the
header. For example, the *ESE common command
requires one parameter, so receiving *ESE is not
allowed.
-120 Numeric data error
This error, as well as errors -121 through -129, are
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.
-128 Numeric data not allowed
A legal numeric data element was received, but the
device does not accept one in this position for the
header.
-108 Parameter not allowed
More parameters were received than expected for the
header. For example, the *ESE common command only
accepts one parameter, so receiving *ESE 0,1 is not
allowed.
-112 Program mnemonic too long
The header contains more than twelve characters (see
IEEE 488.2, 7.6.1.4.1).
-150 String data error
This error, as well as errors -151 through -159, are
generated when parsing a string data element. This
particular error message is used if the device cannot
detect a more specific error.
