SYSTem:ERRor?
This command queries the earliest entry in the error queue, and deletes it after the readout.
Positive error numbers indicate device-specific errors, negative error numbers are error messages
defined by SCPI (cf. Chapter 9). If the error queue is empty, the error number 0, "no error", is
returned. This command is identical with the command STATus:QUEue:NEXT?. This command is a
query and therefore has no *RST value.
Example: "SYST:ERR?"
Characteristics: *RST value: –
SCPI: conforming
Mode: all
SYSTem:ERRor:LIST?
This command reads all system messages and returns a list of comma separated strings. Each
string corresponds to an entry in the table SYSTEM MESSAGES.
If the error list is empty, an empty string "" will be returned.
This command is a query and therefore has no *RST value.
Example: "SYST:ERR:LIST?"
Characteristics: *RST value: –
SCPI: device specific
Mode: all
SYSTem:ERRor:CLEar:ALL
This command deletes all entries in the table SYSTEM MESSAGES.
This command is an event and therefore has no query and no *RST value.
Example: "SYST:ERR:CLE:ALL?"
Characteristics: *RST value: –
SCPI: device specific
Mode: all
SYSTem:FIRMware:UPDate <path>
This command starts a firmware update using the data set in the selected directory. Beforehand, the
update files have to be stored in the following subdirectories using command MMEM:DATA:

DISK5
Characteristics: *RST value: –
SCPI: device specific
Mode: all
This command is an 'event' and therefore has no query and no *RST value.
