Device-Specific Error List
An error in the range [-399, 300] or [1, 32767] indicates that the instrument has
detected an error which is not a command error, a query error, or an execution error;
some device operations did not properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal
hardware or firmware condition. These codes are also used for self-test response
errors. The occurrence of any error in the class causes the device-specific error bit
(bit 3) in the Event Status Register to be set.
