CONTn
Purpose
Have the RPM4-AD reply continuously as each new measurement becomes available.
Query
"CONTn?"
Classic
"CONTn"
Optional Suffix
"n"
The active Q-RPT is assumed if no suffix is given.
'1'
'2'
'3'
Remarks
This command is somewhat different than most as it enables the RPM4-AD to continuously output
the selected Q-RPT's measurement without further queries. This continues until the next query is
received by the RPM4, or if the ABORT" or "*CLS" command is received. The frequency of the
measurements is determined by the readrate of the Q-RPT. The data returned includes the
pressure of the specified or active Q-RPT, the Q-RPT's unit of measure and measurement mode.

Classic
"DATE= date"
"DATE"
Arguments

3.5.5.3
ERR
Purpose
Read the new available error message from the Error Queue.
Query
"ERR?"
Classic
"ERR"
Remarks
This program message obtains additional details about an error that has occurred. If the user
receives an "ERR# nn" reply, or the enhanced mode is enabled using the IEEE-488 interface and
an error has been detected, the error is put into a FIFO Error Queue. The "ERR" program
message pulls and replies the oldest error message available. In "classic" mode only the most recent
error can reside in the queue. "OK" is replied if there are no error messages left. If an error occurs in
enhanced mode using the IEEE-488 interface, no reply is generated even if the command was a
query.
