Description The Agilent 86120C has a 30 entry error queue. The queue is a first-
in, first- out buffer. Repeatedly sending the query :SYSTEM:ERROR?
returns the error numbers and descriptions in the order in which they
occur until the queue is empty. Any further queries returns +0, "No
errors" until another error occurs.
