2 Features and Functions
• Errors are retrieved in first- in- first- out (FIFO) order. The first error
returned is the first error that was stored. Errors are cleared as you
read them. Once you have read all of the interface- specific errors, the
errors in the global queue are retrieved.
• Errors are cleared as you read them. When you have read all errors
from the interface- specific and global error queues, the ERROR
annunciator turns off and the errors are cleared.
• If more than 20 errors have occurred, the last error stored in the queue
(the most recent error) is replaced with -350,“Error queue overflow”.
No additional errors are stored until you remove errors from the queue.
If no errors have occurred when you read the error queue, the
instrument responds with +0,“No error”.
• The front panel reports errors from all I/O sessions as well as the
global error queue.
• The interface- specific and global error queues are cleared by the
*CLS
(Clear Status) command and when power is cycled. The errors are also
cleared when you read the error queue. The error queue is not cleared
by a Factory Reset (
*RST command) or an Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet command).
