-100 to -199 Command Errors
Standard -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.]
Standard -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.]
Standard -102
"Syntax error"
[An unrecognized command or data type was encountered; for example, a
string was received when the device does not accept strings.]
Standard -103
"Invalid separator"
[The parser was expecting a separator and encountered an illegal charac-
ter; for example, the semicolon was omitted after a program message unit]
Standard -104
"Data type error"
[The parser recognized a data element different than one allowed; for ex-
ample,numeric or string data was expected but block data was encoun-
tered.]
Standard -105 "GET not allowed"
[A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program message (see
IEEE488.2, 7.7).]
Standard -108 "Parameter not allowed"
[More parameters were received than expected for the header]
