Error Description [description/explanation/examples]
“Command error”
This is the generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more
specihc errors. This code indicates only that a Command Error as
defined in IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.4 has occurred.
“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 errors -114, -121, -141, and
perhaps some others.
“Syntax error”
An unrecognized command or data type was encountered; for
example, a string was received when the device does not accept
strings.
“Invalid separator”
The parser was expecting a separator and encountered an illegal
character; for example, the semicolon was omitted after a program
message unit, *EMC 1
:CHI:VoLTS
5.
“Data type error”
The parser recognized a data element different than one ahowed;
for example, numeric or string data was expected but block data
was encountered.
“GET not ahowed”
A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program message.
(See IEEE 488.2, 7.7). Correct the
HP-II3
controller program so that
the group execute trigger does not occur within a line of HP-IB
program code.
“Parameter not ahowed”
More parameters were received than expected for the header; for
example, the *EMC common command only accepts one parameter,
so receiving *EMC
0,l
is not ahowed.
