SYSTem:ERRor?

This query returns the next error number followed by its corresponding error message string from the remote programming error queue. The queue is a FIFO (first-in, first-out) buffer that stores errors as they occur. As it is read, each error is removed from the queue. When all errors have been read, the query returns 0,NO ERROR. If more errors are accumulated than the queue can hold, the last error in the queue will be -350,TOO MANY ERRORS (see Appendix C for other error codes).
