Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) 110
Hardware Errors During Operation. If an error does not occur during selftest but after the power supply has been operating
correctly for a time, error -240 is placed in the error queue. Most subsequent commands will not be executed and will also
cause one or more - 240 errors to be placed in the queue after each command. If your application requires the controller to
be signalled if the power supply fails, program the status registers to allow execution errors or device-dependent errors to
generate an SRQ to the controller.
