(clear status) command or when power is cycled. The errors are also cleared when you
read the queue.
-410 Query INTERRUPTED
A command was received which sends data to the output buffer, but the output buffer
contained data from a previous command (the previous data is not overwritten). The
output buffer is cleared when power has been off or after a bus Device Clear.
-420 Query UNTERMINATED
The instrument was addressed to talk (i.e., send data over the interface) but a command
has not been received which sends data to the output buffer. For example, you may have
executed a
CONFigure command (which does not generate data) and then attempted to
read data from the remote interface.
-430 Query DEADLOCKED
A command was received which generates too much data to fit in the output buffer and
the input buffer is also full. Command execution continues but all data is lost.
-440 Query UNTERMINATED after indefinite response
The
*IDN? command must be the last query command within a
command string. The
*IDN? command returns an indefinite length
string which cannot be combined with any other query command.
Example:
*IDN?;*STB?
