Error Codes
When the ERR bit is set in the status word, a GPIB error has occurred.
The error code is returned in the variable IBERR.
There are 14 possible error codes. Table 4.2 lists these codes, a
recommended mnemonic to be associated with that type of error, and
the numeric value of the code.

completed
ECAP 11 No capability for operation
EFSO 12 File system error
EBUS 14 Command error during device call
ESTB 15 Serial Poll status byte lost

A description of each error and some conditions under which it may
occur follows:
EDVR (0) EDVR is returned by the language interface when the
device or board name passed in an IBFIND call is not
configured in the handler. In this case, the variable IBCNT
will contain the DOS error code 2, "Device not found." The
remedy is to replace the argument to IBFIND with a valid
board or device name, or reconfigure the handler using the
IBCONF utility to recognize the name.
