The return from this command will be 0, "No error"
. There will be no return until
the *RST command is finished.
When the 0, "No error"

completed. The system is now ready to have testing applications started on that module

System Commands
Check for Errors :SYSTem:ERRor?
If a remote control command has an error, no message will be returned unless requested
with ":SYSTem:ERRor?". The response to this command is an error code number and a
brief description in quotes. The description will be one of the messages in the table below,
possibly followed by more information.
It is recommended that this command is sent automatically after any query command
(ending with a '?'). If a command is errored, checking ":SYSTem:ERRor?" will immediatly
report the mistake, while not checking it will result in the mistake being silently ignored.
Examples:
> *REM
> :INITiate
> :SYSTem:ERRor?
-221, "Settings conflict; no application has been selected"
> :SENSe:MISSpelled:COMMand?
