SYSTem:ERRor?

This query returns the next error number followed by its corresponding error message string from
the remote programming error queue. The queue is a FIFO (first-in, first-out) buffer that stores
errors as they occur. As it is read, each error is removed from the queue. When all errors have
been read, the query returns 0, No Error. If more errors are accumulated than the queue can hold,
the last error in the queue is -350, Too Many Errors.
