–275

“Macro definition too

long”

Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program

data sequence could not be executed because the

string or block contents was 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

insufficient 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.
