Show error setting:
▪ Show errors: 1
▪ Do not show errors: 0
Details
If this attribute is set to 1, the instrument automatically sends any generated errors stored in the error
queue, and then clears the queue. Errors are processed after executing a command message (just
before issuing a prompt, if prompts are enabled).
If this attribute is set to 0, errors are left in the error queue and must be explicitly read or cleared.
When using this command from a remote node, localnode should be replaced with the node
reference, for example, node[5].showerrors.
