IBASIC Error Messages
IBASIC Error Messages are associated with IBASIC operation. IBASIC
error messages can have both positive and negative numbers. Refer to
the HP Instrument BASIC User’s Handbook for information on positive
numbered error messages. Refer to the HP-IB Error Messages section
of the Programmer’s Guide for information on negative numbered error
messages (the error message associated with a negative number is the
same for HP-IB errors and IBASIC errors).
IBASIC error messages take the form:
IBASIC Error: -XX
For example:
