SCPI-Based Errors
FTB-500 427
–275 “Macro definition too
long”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program
data sequence could not be executed because the
string or block contents were too long for the
device to handle (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.1).]
–276 “Macro recursion
error”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program
data sequence could not be executed because the
device found it to be recursive (see IEEE 488.2,
10.7.6.6).]
–277 “Macro redefinition not
allowed”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in
the *DMC command could not be executed
because the macro label was already defined (see
IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.4).]
–278 “Macro header not
found”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in
the *GMC? query could not be executed because
the header was not previously defined.]
–280 “Program error” [Indicates that a downloaded program-related
execution error occurred. This error message
should be used when the device cannot detect the
more specific errors described for errors –281
through –289. A downloaded program is used to
add algorithmic capability to a device. The syntax
used in the program and the mechanism for
downloading a program is device-specific.]
–281 “Cannot create
program”
[Indicates that an attempt to create a program was
unsuccessful. A reason for the failure might include
not enough memory.]
–282 “”Illegal program name [The name used to reference a program was
invalid; for example, redefining an existing
program, deleting a nonexistent program, or in
general, referencing a nonexistent program.]
–283 “Illegal variable name” [An attempt was made to reference a nonexistent
variable in a program.]
