Errors (C#)

Exceptions derive from InstrumentException under InstrumentComponents.Errors.

Hierarchy

Type	When
CommunicationException	I/O failed with address + command + attempts
InstrumentTimeoutException	Operation timed out
UnsupportedKindException	Device does not support requested class
DeviceNotFoundException	Address or DeviceId not in catalog
ScpiCommandException	SCPI command failed
ParseException	Response could not be parsed
TransportException / TransportClosedException	Low-level transport failure
MockExhaustedException / MockMismatchException	Scripted fixture mismatch
SessionLimitException	Too many sessions for an address
InvalidAddressException	Bad resource string

Handling

using InstrumentComponents.Errors;
using InstrumentComponents.Visa;

try
{
    var catalog = VisaDiscovery.Create().Scan();
    var dmm = catalog.OpenDmm(address);
    Console.WriteLine(dmm.MeasureVoltageDc());
}
catch (UnsupportedKindException ex)
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine($"{ex.Address}: {ex.Kind} not in [{string.Join(", ", ex.Supported)}]");
}
catch (CommunicationException ex)
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine($"comm @ {ex.Address} after {ex.Attempts} tries ({ex.Command}): {ex.Message}");
}

Rust mirrors these as Error enum variants — see Rust errors.
