functions.
SYSTem:ERRor?
This query returns the next error number followed by its corresponding error message string from the
remote programming error queue. The queue is a FIFO (first-in, first-out) buffer that stores errors as they
occur. As it is read, each error is removed from the queue. When all errors have been read, the query
returns 0,NO ERROR. If more errors are accumulated than the queue can hold, the last error in the queue
will be -350,TOO MANY ERRORS (see Appendix C for other error codes).
You can use the front panel Error key to read errors from the queue. Errors generated at the front panel
are not put into the queue but appear immediately on the display.
