USB control is compatible with.
7.5.1 SYST:ERR?
Syntax
SYSTem:ERRor?
Description
Query the instrument’s error queue. A record of up to N errors is stored in the
instrument’s error queue. Errors are retrieved in first-in first-out (FIFO) order.
The first error returned is the first error that was stored. Each additional error
up to N is read by N subsequent queries (one for each error). For this
instrument N=20. The error queue has to be read until no more errors are
returned, otherwise the error status is not cleared.
Note: some of the listed error codes are here for backwards compatibility with
legacy products and other are reserved for future applications. Not all error
codes are applicable to this matrix.
Result
String with the following syntax:
code, message
code: Numeric value with the error code (0 if no error).
Message: String with error message.
