Appendix A Error Messages
Introduction
A-2 Operating and Programming Guide
Introduction
This appendix explains how to read any errors from the Receiver,
discusses the error queue, types of errors and general error behavior,
and provides a table of all of the Receiver’s errors and their probable
causes.
Reading an Error
Executing the :SYSTEM:ERROR? command reads the oldest error from
the error queue and erases that error from the queue. The :SYST:ERR?
response has the form:
<error number>, <error string>
An example response is:
-113,"Undefined header"
Positive error numbers are specific to the Receiver. Negative error
numbers are command language related and are discussed later in this
appendix.
All errors set a corresponding bit in the Standard Event Status
Register (see Figure 5-1 on page 5-49).
