Error Messages
If an error condition occurs in the signal generator, it is reported to both the front panel display error queue
and the SCPI (remote interface) error queue. These two queues are viewed and managed separately; for
information on the SCPI error queue, refer to the Programming Guide.
NOTE
When there is an unviewed message in the front panel error queue, the ERR annunciator
appears on the signal generator's display.
