Reading errors
When errors occur, the error messages will be placed in the error queue. Use
error queue commands to request error message information. For example, the
following commands request the next complete error information from the error
queue and returns the message portion of the error:
errorcode, message, severity, node = errorqueue.next()
print(message)
The following table lists the commands associated with the error queue.
