ERROR (02H) [BASIC/JVC-1]
The ERROR is returned when the VR-509 receives an un-
receivable command related to a series of commands. This
command will not be accepted when sent, and only the
status SENSE command will be returned (the status
SENSE command is also valid in error modes, and is
returned). Enter the CLEAR ERROR (41H) or CLEAR
(56H) commands to clear this mode.
Enter the CLEAR ERROR (41H) command to delete
numerical commands entered (transmitted) at the end of

the CLEAR (56H) command to clear all commands.
Buffering will not be performed for other parameters that
are received while the error mode is in progress.
