Front-Panel Key Reference
System (Local)
System (Local)
Accesses the System menu keys. Pressing System (Local) after the 
analyzer has been placed in the remote mode, places the analyzer in the 
local mode and enables front-panel control. During remote operation, R 
appears in the upper-right corner of the screen. R, T, L, or S may appear 
during remote operation, indicating talk, listen, or service request. 
Pressing the 
System (Local) key removes the R symbol in the upper-right 
corner. 
Show Errors Accesses a display of the last 30 errors reported. The most recent error 
will appear at the top of the list. The first error listed will be the first 
error removed if the error list is longer than 30 entries. If the same 
error message occurs several times the error message will be 
incremented rather than added to the list as a new error message. 
The date and time identify the first time and the last time (if there is 
more than one of the same type of error) an error occurred. The number 
of identical errors is shown, and the error number is also shown with 
firmware revision A.08.00 and later.

Verbose SCPI
On Off
  The information in the Error History Screen is 
formatted to fit the screen size. Additional information 
is available via the SYSTem:ERRor? command. It 
indicates which SCPI command was executing when 
the error occurred and what about that command was 
unacceptable.
Example: First set SYST:ERR:VERBOSE ON
If the command SENSe:FREQuently:CENTer 942.6MHz 
is sent, then sending SYST:ERR? returns:
–113, “Undefined 
header;SENSe:FREQuently:<Err>CENTer 942.6MHz 
$<NL>”
