SCPI-Defined Errors
–108 desc = “Parameter not allowed”
help = ““
[More parameters were received than expected for the header; for example,
the *EMC common command only accepts one parameter, so receiving *EMC
0,1 is not allowed.]
–109 desc = “Missing parameter”
help = ““
[Fewer parameters were received than required for the header; for example,
the *EMC common command requires one parameter, so receiving *EMC is not
allowed.]
–112 desc = “Program mnemonic too long”
help = ““
[The header contains more that twelve characters (see IEEE 488.2, 7.6.1.4.1).]
–113 desc = “Undefined header”
help = ““
[The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined for this specific device;
for example, *XYZ is not defined for any device.]
–120 desc = “Numeric Data Error”
help = “
[This error, as well as errors –121 through –129, are generated when parsing a
data element which appears to be numeric, including the non-decimal numeric
types. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect
a more specific error.]
–121 desc = “Invalid character in number”
help = ““
[An invalid character for the data type being parsed was encountered; for
example, an alpha in a decimal numeric or a “9” in octal data.]
–123 desc = “Exponent too large”
help = ““
[The magnitude of the exponent was larger than 32000 (see IEEE 488.2,
7.7.2.4.1).]
–124 desc = “Too many digits”
help = ““
[The mantissa of a decimal numeric data element contained more than
255 digits excluding leading zeros (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).]
