Appendix
This appendix lists error messages summarized by bits 5 and 3 of the status byte register. Bit 5 indicates error
messages reported by bits 2 to 5 of the standard event status register. Bit 3 indicates RES-Uncal and Peak/Dip
errors.

†1:
Device-dependent error ........ Condition error (setting condition error, etc.)
Hardware error (CAL error)
†2:
Query error ........................... The host has not read a received query message.
When an execution error (EXE error: bit 4) or device-specific error (DDE error: bit 3) of the standard event status
register is set, the MS9710C reports its error number and message to the operator as the information about the error
cause.
GPIB error numbers can be displayed using a ERR? command (see the explanation of device messages).
The lists on the following pages summarizes error numbers and messages.
