Syntax
SYSTem:ERRor?
This query returns the next error number and its corresponding message string 
from the error queue. Please refer to Chapter 14, “Error Messages” on page 130 
for the error codes.
Remarks
– Errors are retrieved in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order. The first error returned is 
the first error that was stored. 
– Errors are cleared as you read them. When you have read all the errors from 
the error queue, the power indicator turns off and the errors are cleared. 
– The error queue is cleared by the clear status (*CLS) command and when 
power is cycled. The errors are also cleared when you read the error queue.
