The History and Status keys select the Errors view. The Status key has a second line which shows
a number in [square brackets]. This is the number of currently open status items.

Verbose SCPI On/Off
When you turn Verbose SCPI on, additional information is returned when you send the
:SYSTem:ERRor? query. The additional information consists of the characters that stimulated the
error. This can aid you in debugging your test programs by indicating where in the parsing of a
SCPI command the instrument encountered an invalid command or query.
Specifically, with Verbose SCPI on, the SYSTem:ERRor? query is expanded to show the SCPI data
received, with the indicator <Err> at the point in the stream that the error occurred.
Verbose SCPI has no effect on the Show Errors screen or front panel Message Line; it only changes
the response to the :SYST:ERR? query.
See the example below, where the invalid command “SENS:BOGUS” is sent:
Normal response to :SYST:ERR (using the Telnet window):
SCPI> SENS:BOGUS
SCPI> SYST:ERR?
–113,"Undefined header"
Now after turning on Verbose SCPI:
SCPI> SYST:BOGUS
SCPI> SYST:ERR?
–113,"Undefined header;SYST:BOGUS<Err>"
