Event Messages
Event messages are displayed in the MSG area in the bottom left of the
instrument display. Event messages and message numbers are defined by the
SCPI standard.
In the X-Series, sub-messages are often attached to add additional
information, to help you better understand the event being reported. For
example, error –221 is defined as Settings Conflict, but in the X-Series
you will often see a longer message appended to error –221, such as
Settings Conflict; Function not available in Zero Span. This
helps you understand the exact cause of the Settings Conflict error.
