Command Error
An error number in the range - 100 to - 199 indicates that an IEEE 488.2
syntax error has been detected by the instrument's parser. The occurrence
of any error in this class sets the command error bit (bit 5) in the event
status register and indicates that one of the following events occurred:
• An IEEE 488.2 syntax error was detected by the parser. That is, a
computer- to- oscilloscope message was received that is in violation of
the IEEE 488.2 standard. This may be a data element that violates the
oscilloscope's listening formats, or a data type that is unacceptable to
the oscilloscope.
• An unrecognized header was received. Unrecognized headers include
incorrect oscilloscope- specific headers and incorrect or unimplemented
IEEE 488.2 common commands.
• A Group Execute Trigger (GET) was entered into the input buffer inside
of an IEEE 488.2 program message.
Events that generate command errors do not generate execution errors,
oscilloscope- specific errors, or query errors.
