The History and Status keys select the Errors view. The Status key has a second line which shows
a number in [square brackets]. This is the number of currently open status items.

Verbose SCPI On/Off
When you turn Verbose SCPI on, additional information is returned when you send the
:SYSTem:ERRor? query. The additional information consists of the characters that stimulated the
error. This can aid you in debugging your test programs by indicating where in the parsing of a
SCPI command the instrument encountered an invalid command or query.
Specifically, with Verbose SCPI on, the SYSTem:ERRor? query is expanded to show the SCPI data
received, with the indicator at the point in the stream that the error occurred.
Verbose SCPI has no effect on the Show Errors screen or front panel Message Line; it only changes
the response to the :SYST:ERR? query.
See the example below, where the invalid command “SENS:BOGUS” is sent:
Normal response to :SYST:ERR (using the Telnet window):
SCPI> SENS:BOGUS
SCPI> SYST:ERR?
–113,"Undefined header"
Now after turning on Verbose SCPI:
SCPI> SYST:BOGUS
SCPI> SYST:ERR?
–113,"Undefined header;SYST:BOGUS"
