Note: Byte 00 of this string is the same error byte that is available using RE and REA commands.

Byte 01 of this string is the same EIA-232 status byte that is available using RE and REA commands in EIA-232 mode. The EIA-232 version of the status byte is used in the Error/Status String, Byte 01 even in IEEE- 488 mode.

Byte 00 & the Error, Setpoint Reached, and Interval Complete bits of byte 01 (as well as bytes 02-31) and the Error Byte are cleared each time a QE or QEA command is issued.

The syntax for the command is:

RS<CR><LF> Request binary value

RSA<CR><LF> Request ASCII hex value

The QE command will return QE<space><a fixed length 64 byte binary string><CR><LF>. Total return string length=69 bytes, including terminators.

The QEA command will return the 64 bytes of error/status data in 2 character per byte formatted ASCII hex in 4 lines of 16 error/status bytes each formatted as follows:

For each line:

QEA<space><first byte number in two ASCII digits><triple space><then 16 bytes of error/status data as ASCII hex with 1 space between bytes 0-7, three spaces between bytes 7-8, one space between bytes 8-15><CR><LF> as follows:
