Description
The ERR? query returns a list of three-digit error codes if errors are present. A return value of “0”
means that there are no errors present. Executing ERR? clears all GPIB errors.
If a command is a valid legacy command but not accepted by the N9061A application, no error
message is generated and the response to ERR? is 0. However, if logging is enabled, the N9061A
application command log registers a “Cmd not Supported” error.
If a command is not a valid legacy command, a command error is generated; CMD ERR is
displayed on the front panel and the response to ERR? is 112. If logging is enabled then "Cmd
Error" is written to the command error log.
Error codes are provided in N9061A mode for some X-series errors such as external reference,
hardware and alignment errors. The X-series error codes are translated to 8560 series error codes
so that an error query returns the legacy instrument error code. To review the error via the front
panel, select the System > Show > Errors.
The following table shows the X-series error codes and the translated value.
