B.46 SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]? QUERY
SYST:ERR?
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:ERR[:NEXT]? Long Form: SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]?
Return Value: <int_value,string>
Description: Posts error messages to the output queue. Returns the next error number followed by its corre-
sponding error message string from the instrument error queue. The error 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 and the
next error message is made available. When all errors have been read, the query returns 0,”No error”.
If more than 15 errors are accumulated, it will overflow. The oldest errors stay in the queue but the
most recent errors are discarded. The last error in the queue will be -350,”Too many errors.” Error
messages are defined in Table B-6.
B.47 SYSTem:ERRor:CODE? QUERY
SYST:ERR:CODE?
Syntax: Short Form: SYST:ERR:CODE?] Long Form: SYSTem:ERRor:CODE?
Description: Returns the three character error code without the ASCII definition string. The error codes are defined
in table B-6 (See example, Figure B-3.)

Syntax: Short Form: SYST:ERR:CODE:ALL?] Long Form: SYSTem:ERRor:CODE:ALL?
Return Value:

SCPI commands.
