When you have read all errors from the error queue, the ERR annunciator turns off.
l If more have accumulated than the queue can hold, the last error stored in the queue (the most
recent error) is replaced with -350,"Error queue overflow". No additional errors are stored until you
remove errors from the queue. If no errors have occurred when you read the error queue, the
instrument responds with +0,"No error".
l The error queue is cleared by the *CLS and when power is cycled. It is not cleared by a *RST.
l Errors have the following format (the error string may contain up to 80 characters).
<error code>,<error string> For a list of error codes and message strings, see SCPI Error
Messages.
