SYSTem:ERRor? 

Purpose 

Queries the Error Queue 

 

 

Type 

Required SCPI command 

 

 

Command Syntax 

None - query only 

 

 

Command Parameters 

N/A 

 

 

*RST Value 

N/A 

 

 

Query Syntax 

SYSTem:ERRor? 

 

 

Query Parameters 

None 

 

 

Query Response 

ASCII string 

 

 

Description 

The System Error query is used to retrieve error messages from the error queue. The 
error queue will maintain the two error messages. If additional errors occur, the queue 
will overflow and the second and subsequent error messages will be lost. In the case of 
an overflow, an overflow message will replace the second error message. See the SCPI 
standard Volume 2: Command Reference for details on errors and reporting them. Refer 
to the “Error Messages” section of this manual for specific details regarding the reported 
errors. 

 

 

Examples 

Command / Query 

Response (Description) 

 

SYST:ERR? 

-350, “Queue overflow”
