4.9 ERROR AND STATUS CODES.
The following table shows codes that will be returned in response to any command that is unrecognized, invalid, or
not applicable in the current state. A list of these errors may be read in the sequence they occurred using the SCPI
command SYSTem:ERRor. This command will report each error by code and a short, quoted text description. An
error code of zero corresponds to “No Error”.
