Command errors [-199, -100]

Error string
[description/explanation/example]
-100
Command error
The command is invalid or incorrect.
-101
Invalid character
A command or parameter contains an invalid character, e.g. a header containing an
ampersand, SYST:VERS&.
-102
Syntax error
An unrecognised command or data type was encountered, e.g. a string was received
when the generator did not accept strings.
-103
Invalid separator
A separator was expected, but an illegal character was encountered, e.g. the
semicolon was omitted after a command, *IDN?:SYST:ERR?;
-104
Data type error
A data element different than one allowed was encountered, e.g. numeric data was
expected but string data was encountered.
-108
Parameter not allowed
More parameters was received than expected for the command, e.g. the *IDN?;
command accepts no parameters, so receiving *IDN? 2; is not allowed
-109
Missing parameter
Fewer parameters were received than expected for the command.
-110
Command header error
An error was detected in the command header.
-111
Header separator error
A character which is not a legal header separator was encountered, e.g. no white
space followed the header, thus SYST:PRES:NAME”MACRO” is an error.
-112
Program mnemonic too long
The header contains more than twelve characters.
-113
Undefined header
The header is syntactically correct, but is not defined for the device.
-114
Header suffix out of range
The command is invalid because the value of the numeric suffix attached to the
program mnemonic is out of range, e.g. OUTP:ALAR3? is illegal because only 2 alarm
outputs exists.
-120
Numeric data error
An error in the numeric data was encountered.
-121
Invalid character in number
An invalid character for the data type was encountered, e.g. an alpha in a decimal
value.
-123
Exponent too large
The magnitude of the exponent was larger than 32000.
-124
Too many digits
The mantissa of a decimal numeric data element contained more than 255 digits.
-125
Numeric data not allowed
A legal numeric data was received, but the device does not accept one.
-130
Suffix error
An error in the suffix was encountered.
