EXPLAIN?

command, which returns both the error code and the explanation string.) See Appendix F
for a list of error codes and error messages.
Parameter:
<value> if the error code (an integer)
Response:
<string> that explains the error code, with the parameter (if there is one)
Example:
EXPLAIN? 539 returns "Can't change compensation now."
Return the explanation of error 539: "Can't change compensation now."
FASTEDG

[ON or OFF] Set the output to the 150 ps edge rise time (normally off)- EDGE mode
only.
