Sections 21.8.9 through 21.8.16 of Volume 2 of the SCPI manual,
“Command Reference”, provide a generic description of all possible error codes.
In general, the codes are between -800 and 300. This chapter describes only the
error codes produced by the THM1176/TFM1186, and the circumstances that
might produce each error.
In addition to the SCPI errors, the THM1176 Application Programming Interface
might produce additional errors, in the range of -1073807360 to -1073807192 and
1073676290 to 1073676457 (0xBFFF00xx and 3FFF00xx – the former are errors
and the latter are warnings). These are VISA error codes, and are not
documented here. See the LabVIEW on-line help under “VISA Error Codes,” or
right-click on the error indicator and select “Explain error.”
8-1 0: NO ERROR
Zero indicates no error.
