GPIB-488 C-1 Programming Reference Manual
C
IBERR
If the ERR bit in the status word ( ibsta ) has been set (= 1), an error code
describing the exact error is returned to the iberr variable. Table C-1 lists
the possible GPIB error codes, the corresponding mnemonic, and a brief
explanation. Note that the mnemonics are defined within the header files
for each language. This allows you to use the mnemonic in place of the
error code value. Detailed explanations of each error and possible solutions
are listed after the table.
