If this attribute is set to 1, for any errors that are generated, the unit will automatically
display the errors stored in the error queue, and then clear the queue. Errors will be
processed at the end of executing a command message (just prior to issuing a
prompt if prompts are enabled).

If this attribute is set to 0, errors will be left in the error queue and must be explicitly
read or cleared.

When used in an expanded system (TSP-Link), localnode.showerrors is sent to the
Remote Master node only. Use node[N].showerrors (where N is the node number) to
send the command to any node in the system. See for details on TSP-Link.
See errorqueue functions and attribute
page 9-123).
