Event Queues
There are several different event queues that are viewed/queried and managed 
separately. Note that Conditions are logged in the queues as pairs of events: a 
“Detected” event and a corresponding “Cleared” event.
Table 3-1  Event Queue and Display Types
Front Panel 
Status (Current 
Conditions)
Displayed as a list in the Current Conditions tab of the Status Dialog. 
The Status/Current Conditions list shows existing conditions.
When an event is caused by a command sent over a remote interface, the resulting messages are 
logged in the queue for that interface. For convenience, such Events are also logged in the Front 
Panel queue.
Front Panel 
Event History
Displayed as a list in the History tab of the Status Dialog. 
The History list shows all the events that have occurred since the instrument was turned on, up to a 
maximum of 100 messages.
When an error situation is caused by a command sent over a remote interface, the resulting 
messages are logged in the queue for that interface. For convenience, they are also logged in the 
Front Panel queue.
Remote 
interfaces
When an error event is caused by a command sent over a remote interface, the resulting messages 
are output to the queue for that interface. To return an error, you must query the queue for that 
interface.
An error event that is caused by a front panel action is not reported to any remote interface queue.
However, a status condition is usually caused by an internal event that is not related to a particular 
interface, so the Detected/Cleared Events for status conditions are reported to all the queues.
