Error Reporting (Software Version 3)
Command and query errors are reported by means of the IEEE-488.2 “standard event status
register.” This register may be read with the *ESR? query. For more information, see Remote
Command Set on page 4-13, and/or the IEEE-488.2 standard.
• Reading the ESR register also clears it.
• If a command or query error occurs, succeeding program message units in that same string
are not processed.
• When initially developing a program, it is recommended that *ESR? queries be liberally
interspersed between commands.
• If the response is 0, it indicates that no error exists and the program can safely proceed.
• Once the program has been debugged, some of the *ESR? queries can be removed.
