Error messages are entered in the error/event queue of the status reporting system in the remote
control mode and can be queried with the command SYSTem:ERRor?. The answer format of R&S
ESCI to the command is as follows:
<error code>, "<error text with queue query>;
<remote control command concerned>"
The indication of the remote control command with prefixed semicolon is optional.
Example:
The command "TEST:COMMAND" generates the following answer to the query SYSTem:ERRor? :
-113,"Undefined header;TEST:COMMAND"
The subsequent list contains the description of error texts displayed on the instrument.
Distinction is made between error messages defined by SCPI, which are marked by negative error
codes, and the device-specific error messages for which positive error codes are used.
The right-hand column in the following tables contains the error text in bold which is entered in the
error/event queue and can be read out by means of query SYSTem:ERRor?. A short explanation of the
error cause is given below. The left-hand column contains the associated error code.
