Device-Dependent Errors (DDE)
A Device-Dependent Error is generated if the device detects an internal operating fault
(eg. during self-test). The DDE bit (3) is set true in the Standard-defined Event Status
Byte, and the error code number is appended to the Error queue. The error description
appears on the display, remaining visible until the next key press or remote command.
Errors are reported by the mechanisms which deal with status reporting.
Device-Dependent Errors Reported only Locally on the Front Panel Screen
The error list for local operations, which are not reported to the remote operator, is given
below:
Note that the error number will not be presented on the screen.
