Set Analog Output Error Notification

If the transmitter is malfunctioning, the analog output is set to a specified
level. This overrides the normal measurement output of the channel. The
default level is 0 mA or 0V, according to the output type. You can set the
level using the AERR command.

AERR [level]

where

level = Error level for the analog output channel. Available range

depends on the output type (check with AMODE command).

Example (check settings):

amode
Ch1 output : 4 ... 20 mA

aerr
Ch1 error out : 0.000 mA

Example (set analog channel error level to 20 mA):

aerr 20
Ch1 error out : 20.000 mA

NOTE

The error output value is displayed only when there are minor electrical
faults such as a sensor damage. When there is a severe device
malfunction, the error output value is not necessarily shown.
