The Standard Event Register
The Standard Event register reports the following types of instrument
events: power-on detected, command syntax errors, command execution
errors, self-test or calibration errors, query errors, or when an *OPC
command is executed. Any or all of these conditions can be reported in
the Standard Event summary bit through the enable register. To set the
enable register mask, you write a decimal value to the register using the
*ESE (event status enable) command.
An error condition (Standard Event register bits 2, 3, 4, or 5) will always
record one or more errors in the function generator’s error queue.
Read the error queue using the SYSTem:ERRor? command.
