Keysight X-Series Signal Generators Error Messages
Error Messages
Introduction
If an error condition occurs in the signal generator, it is reported to both the
front panel display error queue and the SCPI (remote interface) error queue.
These two queues are viewed and managed separately.
When there is an unviewed message in the front panel error queue, the ERR annunciator appears
on the signal generator’s display.
