"No error"
-100
"Command Error"
[This is the generic syntax error used when a more specific error cannot be detected. This code
indicates only that a Command Error as defined in
IEEE 488.
2,11.5.1.1.4 has occurred.]
-101
"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 error -114 and perhaps
some others.]
-102
"Syntax error"
[An unrecognized command or data type was encountered; for example, a string was received
when the device
does not accept strings.]
-103
"Invalid separator"
[The parser was expecting a separator and encountered an illegal character; for example, the
semicolon was omitted after a program message unit]
-104
"Data type error"
[The parser recognized a data element different than one allowed; for example,numeric or string
data was expected but block data was encountered.]
-105
"GET not allowed"
[A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program message (see
IEEE488.
2, 7.7).]
-108
"Parameter not allowed"
[More parameters were received than expected for the header]
-109
"Missing parameter"
[Fewer parameters were received than required for the header]
-110
"Command header error"
-111
"Header separator error"
-112
"Program mnemonic too long"
[The header contains more than twelve characters (see
IEEE 488.
2, 7.6.1.4.1).]
