:ERRor?

SYSTem:ERRor?

queries the Error Register for the error value and returns a string

error message to identify the error type. The errors are held in an error buffer and
read in a First-In-First-Out manner by this command.

Comments

•

Returns the error number and error string. If no errors are in the error buffer,

returns:

+0,"No error"

•

Related Commands:

*ERR

•

*RST Condition:

None.

Example

SYST:ERR?

queries the mainframe for errors.

:VERSion?

SYSTem:VERsion?

returns the SCPI version to which this instrument complies.

Comments

Returns a decimal value in the form:

YYYY.R

where YYYY is the year, and R is the revision number within that year.
