A special global error queue holds all power

you read them. Once you have read all of the interface–specific errors,
the errors in the global queue are retrieved.
Errors are cleared as you read them. When you have read all
errors
from the interface–specific and global error queues, the ERROR
annunciator turns off and the errors are cleared.
If more than 20 errors have occurred, the last error stored in the

(the most recent error) is replaced with
–350,"Error queue overflow".
No additional errors are stored until you remove errors from the queue.
If no errors have occurred when you read the error queue, the
instrument responds with
+0,"No error".
The front panel reports errors from all I/O sessions as well as
