ERR?
Returns the first error code contained in the Product error queue, then removes

EXPLAIN? command. The explanation sent in response to this query can contain
variables specific to a particular error event. (To get just the error number use
FAULT?)

contents of the error queue, repeat ERR? until the response is:
