SCPI error checking is illustrated in the following program example. The
SCPI error routine is named sys_error. Errors found are reported to the
standard output device.

/** FUNCTION PROTOTYPES **/
void main (void);
void err_handler(ViSession vi, ViStatus x); /* VTL error routine */
void sys_err(ViSession resource); /* SCPI error routine */

/** GLOBAL **/
ViStatus err;
ViSession defaultRM, cmd, dac;

void main (void)
{
/*** Open the resource manager, command module, and dac sessions ***/
viOpenDefaultRM (&defaultRM);
viOpen (defaultRM, CMD_ADDRESS, VI_NULL, VI_NULL, &cmd);
viOpen(defaultRM, DAC_ADDRESS, VI_NULL, VI_NULL, &dac);
/*** Set the timeout for the dac ***/
viSetAttribute(dac, VI_ATTR_TMO_VALUE, 10000); /* 10 second timeout */
err=viPrintf(dac, “*RST\n”); /* reset the dac */
if(err < VI_SUCCESS) err_handler(dac, err); /* VTL error check */
sys_err (dac);
/* SCPI error check */
