ERRORS
Negative error numbers are used for standard SCPI errors. Positive error numbers are device
specific errors. Following the error number, a message describes the error. An error, when
detected, is held in the error queue.
When SYST:ERR? is sent any error in the error queue sets the error bit in the event status
register.
Error numbers
Each error detected causes an error number with an error message to be returned as
follows:
