When the front-panel ERROR annunciator turns on, one or more command syntax
or hardware errors have been detected. A record of up to 20 errors is stored in the
meter’s error queue. Errors are retrieved in first-in- first-out (FIFO) order. See also
“Error Conditions” on page 104.
Front-Panel operation: Use the SYStem menu command:
If the
ERROR annunciator is on, press (Menu Recall) to read the errors
stored in the queue. The errors are listed horizontally on the “parameter” level.
The error queue is cleared when power has been off or after a
*CLS (clear status)
command has been executed.
– To read the error queue from the remote interface:
SYSTem:ERRor?
Errors have the following format (the error string may contain up to 80
characters):
-113, "Undefined header"
