•The following error handling routine is used:

’***************************************************

’Subroutine reading all errors from the error queue.

’***************************************************

SUB errorcheck er$ = SPACE$(1)

WHILE LEFT$(er$, 1) <> "0"

CMD$ = "SYSTem:ERRor?"
CALL Send(0, 8, CMD$, 1)	’Sends error query
er$ = SPACE$(60)
CALL Receive(0, 8, er$, 256)	’Reads error string
PRINT "error = "; er$	’Displays error string
WEND
END SUB

•Error reporting is invoked as follows: CALL errorcheck

•In the command strings the "short form" commands are specified in capitals. The additional characters in lower case complete the "long form commands.
