Error Queue

If an error occurs due to invalid input or buffer overflow, its error code

is sent to the error queue. The error code can be read from the

queue with the command FAULT?. The error queue holds 15 error

codes. When it is empty, FAULT? returns 0. The error queue is

cleared when power is reset or when the clear command *CLS is

entered.

Input Buffer

Calibrator stores all received data in the input buffer. The buffer holds

250 characters. The characters are processed on a first in, first out

basis.
