ERRor[:NEXT]?
(Query)
To the
SYST:ERR?
question, the instrument returns the error number positioned
at the top of the queue. The queue may have up to 10 numbers and it is
managed according to the principle of first in, first out.
As the
SYST:ERR?
questions progress
,
the multimeter returns the error
numbers in the order of their arrival, until the queue is empty.
Any additional
SYST:ERR?
question will cause a negative response:
"0,No error".
If the queue is full, the box located at the top of the queue takes the –350 value
(queue saturated).
The queue is emptied :
- on powering on
- on receipt of a *CLS
-
on reading the last error
Response format :
<error,message><T>
with:
error = integer negative or null.
message = corresponding error message
