• ERROR (02H) [BASIC/JVC-1]
The ERROR is returned when the VR-509E receives an
un-receivable command related to a series of commands.
This command will not be accepted when sent, and only
the status SENS command will be returned (the status
SENS command is also valid in error modes, and is
returned.) Enter the CLEAR ERROR (41H) or CLEAR
(56H) commands to clear this mode.
Enter the CLEAR ERROR (41H) command to delete
numerical commands entered (transmitted) at the end of

the CLEAR (56H) command to clear all commands.

are received while the error mode is in progress.
