SCPI Instrument Command List

Command	:SYST:ERR?
Long	:SYSTem:ERRor?
Form	Query
*RST value	Not Applicable
Description	Use this command to read the instrument error queue. The instrument
	error queue can store up to 30 error codes on a first-in-first-out basis.
	When you read the error queue, the error number and associated
	message are put into the instrument's output buffer.
	If the queue is empty, the value 0 is returned, meaning No Error. If the
	queue overflows at any time, the last error code is discarded and
	replaced with -350meaning Queue overflow.
Example	:SYS:ERR?	Query for errors

Output example:

-222 "Data out of range" overlap at output 1: Width>Period

The above message is an example of a customized description. Generic descriptions are available in the SCPI 1995 Command Reference, items 21.8.4 to 21.8.11.

Send ":SYST:WARN:STR?". Alternatively, the HELP key shows the current errors and warnings and their description on the instruments display.

Command	:SYST:KEY
Long	:SYSTem:KEY
Form	Set & Query
Parameter	Numeric
Parameter suffix	No suffix allowed
*RST value	Not Applicable
