Remote Command Notes:
The SYST:ERR? query returns the following types of information for each error. <error
number>,”<error message>;<annotated SCPI command>”
Example:
First set SYST:ERR:VERBOSE ON
If the command SENSe:FREQuently:CENTer 942.6MHz is sent, then sending
SYST:ERR? returns:
-113,”Undefined header;SENSe:FREQuently:<Err>CENTer
942.6MHz $<NL>”
The <Err> shown after FREQuently shows you the spelling error. (The $<NL> is the
typical representation for the command terminator.
If the command SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 942.6Sec is sent, then sending
SYST:ERR? returns:
-113,”Invalid suffix;SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 942.6Sec<Err>
$<NL>”
The <Err> shown after Sec shows you the invalid suffix.
