SCPI-Based Errors
426 FTB-500
–260 “Expression error” [Indicates that a 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).]
–272 “Macro execution
error”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program
data sequence could not be executed due to some
error in the macro definition (see IEEE 488.2,
10.7.6.3).]
–273 “Illegal macro label” [Indicates that the macro label defined in the
*DMC command was a legal string syntax, but
could not be accepted by the device (see IEEE
488.2, 10.7.3 and 10.7.6.2); for example, the label
was too long, the same as a common command
header, or contained invalid header syntax.]
–274 “Macro parameter
error”
[Indicates that the macro definition improperly
used a macro parameter placeholder (see IEEE
488.2, 10.7.3).]
