9 Error Codes
GPIB Error Strings
Error strings in the range -100 to -183 are defined by the SCPI standard,
downloadable from: http://www.ivifoundation.org/docs/scpi-99.pdf
String descriptions taken from this standard (VERSION 1999.0 May, 1999),
whether in whole or in part, are enclosed by [ ].

-100 to -199 Command Errors
Standard -100 "Command Error"
[This is the generic syntax error used when a more specific error cannot be detected. This
code indicates only that a Command Error as defined in IEEE 488.2,11.5.1.1.4 has
occurred.]
Standard -101 "Invalid character"
[A syntactic element contains a character which is invalid for that type; for example, a
header containing an ampersand, SETUP&. This error might be used in place of error
-114 and perhaps some others.]
Standard -102 "Syntax error"
[An unrecognized command or data type was encountered; for example, a string was
received when the device does not accept strings.]
Standard -103 "Invalid separator"
[The parser was expecting a separator and encountered an illegal character; for example,
the semicolon was omitted after a program message unit]
Standard -104 "Data type error"
[The parser recognized a data element different than one allowed; for example,numeric or
string data was expected but block data was encountered.]
Standard -105 "GET not allowed"
[A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program message (see IEEE488.2, 7.7).]
Standard -108 "Parameter not allowed"
[More parameters were received than expected for the header]
