(Edit command) Set the edit field to the primary, secondary or frequency field.
Parameters: PRI (edit the value in single output functions and the primary output
value in dual output functions)
SEC (edit the secondary value in dual output functions)
FREQ (edit the frequency value in single ac output functions)
OFF (edit is off, which is the same as using the NEWREF command)
Example: EDIT FREQ
Load FREQ into the edit field to edit frequency.

(Error query) Return the first error code contained in the 5500A Calibrator error queue,
then removes that error code from the queue. Following the error code is an explanation
of the error code, similar to but sometimes containing more specific information than the
EXPLAIN? command. The explanation sent in response to this query can contain
variables specific to a particular error event. See Appendix F for a list of error codes and
error messages.
A zero value is returned when the error queue is empty. To read the entire contents of the
error queue, repeat ERR? until the response 0,“No Error” is returned. For terminal
users, the error queue return for ERR? is always 0,“No Error” because error
messages are returned instead of queued.
Response: <value>, (error code value)
<string> (text string explaining the error)
Example: ERR? returns 0,“No Error”
Return 0,“No Error” when the error queue is empty.
