SCPI Messages
Execution Errors [-299, -200]
-255 Directory full
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because the media
directory was full. The definition of what constitutes a full media directory is device-
specific.
-256 File name not found
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because the file
name on the device media was not found; for example, an attempt was made to read or
copy a nonexistent file. The definition of what constitutes a file not being found is device-
specific.
-257 File name error
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because the file
name on the device media was in error; for example, an attempt was made to copy to a
duplicate file name. The definition of what constitutes a file name error is device-specific.
-258 Media protected
Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because the media
was protected; for example, the write-protect tab on a disk was present. The definition of
what constitutes protected media is device-specific.
-260 Expression error
Indicates that an expression program data element related error occurred. This error
message should be used when the device cannot detect the more specific errors described
for errors -261 through -269.
-261 Math error in expression
Indicates that a syntactically legal expression program data element could not be executed
due to a math error; for example, a divide-by-zero was attempted. The definition of math
error is device-specific.
-270 Macro error
Indicates that a macro-related execution error occurred. This error message should be used
when the device cannot detect the more specific errors described for errors -271 through
-279.
-271 Macro syntax error
Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence, according to IEEE
488.2, 10.7.2, could not be executed due to a syntax error within the macro definition (see
IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3.)
