B-6 Status and Error Messages

EE = error event

SE = status event

SYS = system error event

NOTE: Errors and status messages with a positive number are instrument-dependent. Negative errors are

reserved by SCPI.

NOTE: SCPI-conﬁrmed messages are described in Volume 2: Command Reference of the

Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments. Refer to the :SYSTem:ERRor?

command.
