13.1.2 Permanent notifications
Permanent notifications are displayed if an error occurs that impairs further instrument
operation, e.g. a hardware fault. The error signaled by a permanent notification must
be eliminated before correct instrument operation can be continued.
The message is displayed until the error is eliminated. It covers the status display in
the info line. After error elimination, the message automatically disappears and is also
recorded in the history.
Remote command:
:SYSTem:ERRor:STATic?

the error code. Below the error text, there is an explanation to the respective error.
