Command Errors [-199, -100]
-150 String data error
This error, as well as errors -151 through -159, are generated when parsing a string data
element. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more
specific error.
-151 Invalid string data
A string data element was expected, but was invalid for some reason (see IEEE 488.2,
7.7.5.2); for example, an END message was received before the terminal quote character.
-158 String data not allowed
A string data element was encountered but was not allowed by the device at this point in
parsing.
-160 Block data error
This error, as well as errors -161 through -169, are generated when parsing a block data
element. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a more
specific error.
-161 Invalid block data
A block data element was expected, but was invalid for some reason (see IEEE 488.2,
7.7.6.2); for example, an END message was received before the length was satisfied.
-168 Block data not allowed
A legal block data element was encountered but was not allowed by the device at this
point in parsing.
-170 Expression error
This error, as well as errors -171 through -179, are generated when parsing an expression
data element. This particular error message should be used if the device cannot detect a
more specific error.
-171 Invalid expression
The expression data element was invalid (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.7.2); for example,
unmatched parentheses or an illegal character.
-178 Expression data not allowed
A legal expression data was encountered but was not allowed by the device at this point in
parsing.
