IVI - Other Error Codes
If an error occurs as the result of an IVI call, the type of error is indicated by the numerical range of the error number. First display the error number in hexadecimal format, then look it up in the following tables.
BFFA000->BFFA1FFF are IVI error codes and can be interpreted in the following tableBFFA2000->BFFA3FFF are Class Driver error codes interpreted at this link location
BFFA4000->BFFA5FFF are Pickering Specific Driver errors interpreted at this link location
If writing code to check for error specific error return values, the user should use the text in the DEFINE column rather than using the numeric value directly.
