and allows control over the instrument's front panel.
SYSTem Subsystem Functions
:ERRor?
Description Reads error strings from the SCPI Error Queue. If the Error Queue has
any entries, the Error Queue bit is set in the Status Byte. The
instrument has a 30 entry, first-in, first-out queue. Repeatedly sending
the query :SYST:ERR? returns the error numbers and descriptions in
the order in which they occurred until the queue is empty. Any further
queries return 0, "No error" until another error occurs. A table of
possible errors is shown below.
Query Response <integer>, <string> (ex. –104, “Data type error”)
