Error Messages

Error messages may appear on the LDC-3706 instrument display when error conditions occur in
the instrument. In remote operation, use SYST:ERR:ALL? to read the current error list. The
SYST:ERR? query returns a string containing the next error message that is in the error
message queue.

Error Code Tables

The error codes are classified and placed in tables corresponding to their classification. The
classifications are Command Errors, Execution Errors, Device Errors, Query Errors and
Instrument Specific Errors.
