–273
Illegal macro label
Indicates that the macro label defined in the ∗DMC
command was a legal string syntax, but could not be
accepted by the counter (see IEEE-488.2, 10.7.3 and
10.7.6.2); for example, the label was too long, the same
as a common command header, or contained invalid
header syntax.
–274
Macro parameter
error
Indicates that the macro definition improperly used a
macro parameter place holder (see IEEE-488.2,
10.7.3).
–275
Macro definition too
long
Indicates that a syntactically correct macro program
data sequence could not be executed because the
string or block contents were too long for the coun
-
ter to handle (see IEEE-488.2, 10.7.6.1).
–276
Macro recursion er-
ror
Indicates that a syntactically correct macro program
data sequence could not be executed because the
counter found it to be recursive (see IEEE-488.2,
10.7.6.6).
–277
Macro redefinition
not allowed
Indicates that a syntactically correct macro label in
the ∗DMC command could not be executed because
the macro label was already defined (see
IEEE-488.2, 10.7.6.4).
–278
Macro header not
found
Indicates that a syntactically correct macro label in
the ∗GMC? query could not be executed because
the header was not previously defined.
