relation to the size of the SCPI queue. If the queue extends onto a second page, a scroll bar
appears to allow scrolling with a mouse. Time is displayed to the second.
Status brings up a screen summarizing the status conditions currently in effect. Note that the time
is displayed to the second.
The fields on the Errors display are:
Type (unlabeled) - Displays the icon identifying the event or condition as an error or warning.
ID - Displays the error number.
Message - Displays the message text.
Repeat (RPT) - This field shows the number of consecutive instances of the event, uninterrupted
by other events. If an event occurs 5 times with no other intervening event, the value of repeat
will be 5.
If the value of Repeat is 1 the field does not display. If the value of Repeat is >1, the time and
date shown are those of the most recent occurrence. If the value of repeat reaches 999,999 it stops
there.
Time - Shows the most recent time (including the date) at which the event occurred.

Notes The return string has the format:
“<Error Number>,<Error>”
Where <Error Number> and <Error> are those shown on the Show Errors screen
Backwards Compatibility
Notes In some legacy analyzers, the Repeat field shows the number of times the message has repeated
since the last time the error queue was cleared. In the X-Series, the Repeat field shows the
number of times the error has repeated since the last intervening error. So the count may very
well be different than in the past even for identical signal conditions
Unlike previous analyzers, in the X-Series all errors are reported through the Message or Status
lines and are logged to the event queue. They never appear as text in the graticule area (as they
sometimes do in previous analyzers) and they are never displayed in the settings panel at the top
of the screen (as they sometimes do, by changing color, in previous analyzers).
As a consequence of the above, the user can only see one status condition (the most recently
generated) without looking at the queue. In the past, at least in the Spectrum Analyzer, multiple
status conditions might display on the right side of the graticule.
In general, there is no backwards compatibility specified or guaranteed between the error
