Error Message Type
Command Errors (–199 to –100)
Command error messages indicate that the instrument’s parser detected an
IEEE 488.2 syntax error. Errors in this class set the command error bit (bit 5) in
the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). In this case:
— Either an IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the parser (a
control-to-device message was received that is in violation of the IEEE
488.2 standard. Possible violations include a data element that violates
device listening formats or whose type is unacceptable to the device.), or
— an unrecognized header was received. These include incorrect
device-specific headers and incorrect or unimplemented IEEE 488.2
common commands.
