•
The following error handling routine is used:
' ***************************************************
' Subroutine reading all errors from the error queue.
' ***************************************************
SUB errorcheck
er$ = SPACE$(1)
WHILE LEFT$(er$, 1) <> "0"
CMD$ = "SYSTem:ERRor?"
CALL Send(0, 8, CMD$, 1)
er$ = SPACE$(60)
CALL Receive(0, 8, er$, 256)
PRINT "error = "; er$
WEND
END SUB
•
Error reporting is invoked as follows: CALL errorcheck
•
In the command strings the "short form" commands are specified in capitals.
The additional characters in lower case complete the "long form commands.
