SCPI Error Messages
SCPI error messages are the same in all SCPI instruments. The errors are assigned negative numbers.
The standard text of the error message is often supplemented by a comment from the CMU which
provides more detailed information (device-dependent information). Since this part depends on the
individual situation, it often contains more relevant information than the standard text.
