Err# Message Verbose/Correction Information
-100 Command error There is a problem with the command. The exact problem cannot be
specifically identified.
-101 Invalid character An invalid character was found in part of the command.
-102 Syntax error An unrecognized command or data type was found, for example a
string was received for a command that doesn’t accept strings.
-103 Invalid separator The command was supposed to contain a separator but we found an
illegal character. For example, the semicolon was omitted after a
command string.
-104 Data type error We found a data type different then what was expected. For example,
numeric or string data was expected, but block data was found.
-105 GET not allowed A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program message.
-108 Parameter not allowed More parameters were received than were expected for the command.
For example, the *ESE common command only accepts one
parameter, so sending *ESE 0,1 is not allowed.
-109 Missing parameter Fewer parameters were received than required for this command.
-110 Command header error This is a general error that is generated when a problem is found in a
command header, but we can’t tell more specifically what the problem
is
-111 Header separator error We found an illegal character in a command where we expected to
find a separator.
-112 Program mnemonic too long The command contains a keyword that is more than twelve characters.
-113 Undefined header The command meets the SCPI syntax requirements, but is not valid in
the current measurement environment.
-114 Header suffix out of range The value of a numeric suffix that is attached to a program mnemonic
makes the header invalid. (A suffix is usually units, like Hz or DB.)
-115 Unexpected number of
parameters
The number of parameters received does not correspond to the
number of parameters expected.
-120 Numeric data error An error was found in a data element that appears to be numeric. The
exact problem cannot be specifically identified.
-121 Invalid character in number A character was found that is not valid for the data type. For example,
an alpha in a decimal numeric or a “9” in octal data.
-123 Exponent too large The magnitude of an exponent was greater than 32000.
-124 Too many digits The mantissa of a decimal-numeric contained more than 255 digits,
excluding leading zeros.
