Setting up N9061A on the X-Series Analyzer

Cmd Error

Turning Cmd Error On or Off enables or disables the display of the "CMD ERR" error messages. The default setting is On. The error message appears in the Message bar and also can be queried using “ERR?”. The error message will occur if either the command syntax or any of its parameters are incorrectly formed. The selected value is preserved after presetting or power cycling the instrument. Disabling the display of command errors disables the display of all error types.

The format of the errors are as follows:

1.CMD ERR, <string>

This string will be limited to the first 20 characters of the input string (message unit).

Further details of these errors, after they have occurred, can be reviewed in the Cmd Error Log, as long as Cmd Error Logging is enabled.
