Agilent N5181A/82A MXG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 101
System Commands
System Subsystem (:SYSTem)
:ERRor[:NEXt]
Supported All
:SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXt]?
This query returns the next error message from the signal generator SCPI error queue. If there are
no error messages, the query returns the following output:
+0,"No error"
When there is more than one error message, the query will need to be sent for each message.
The Agilent MXG deletes the error messages from the front panel error queue after viewing the last
message.

Supported All
:SYSTem:ERRor:SCPI[:SYNTax] ON|OFF|1|0
:SYSTem:ERRor:SCPI[:SYNTax]?

:FILesystem:SAFemode
Supported All
:SYSTem:FILesystem:SAFemode ON|OFF|1|0
:SYSTem:FILesystem:SAFemode?
This command selects the safe mode for file handling. When safe mode is set to OFF, volatile
waveform files can be edited and saved while the signal generator plays the file without signal
interruption. However, it is possible with complex waveforms, for corruption of memory to occur
which will be reported as an error on the front- panel display and require a reboot of the signal
generator to resolve.
Example
:SYST:FIL:SAF ON
The preceding example enables the safe mode setting and waveform files cannot be edited without
signal disruption while the signal generator plays them.
