To View Instrument Errors
You can view errors from the front panel. This feature is especially
useful when developing remote instrument control. If an error occurs,
the ERROR annunciator in the display will light. Errors are stored in
the error queue in the order they occur. You read the errors in the same
order. After all errors have been read, the queue is empty and the
ERROR annunciator turns off. To view instrument errors:
1. Press the View key. The VIEW annunciator lights up and the display
shows the first menu level.
ERROR
2. Press Enter to view the first error.
a. If no error is in the error queue (the ERROR annunciator is off),
the display shows "NO ERROR" and then automatically returns to
the first level of the View menu.

b. If there are errors (the ERROR annunciator is on), the first error
in the error queue is displayed.
