This program generates an error and then reads the error code from the
Query Response Register.

This subprogram checks each bit in the multimeter Status register.

!
The subprogram is called by subprograms Wait_not_bsy, Wait_done, and
110
!
Qry_ready to determine when a command and parameter can be written to
120
!
Command and Parameter registers, and when an error code is in the Query
130
!
Response register.
