Error Messages
If an error condition occurs in the signal generator, it is reported to both the
SCPI (remote interface) error queue and the front panel display error queue.
These two queues are viewed and managed separately; for information on the
front panel display error queue, refer to the User's Guide.
For additional general information on troubleshooting problems with your
connections, refer to the Help in the Keysight IO Libraries and
documentation.
When accessing error messages using the SCPI (remote interface) error queue,
the error numbers and the <error_description> portions of the error query
response are displayed on the host terminal.

c. Errors that still exist after clearing the error queue. For example, unlock.

Error Message File

A complete list of error messages is provided in the file errormessages.pdf, on
the CD-ROM supplied with your instrument. In the error message list, an
explanation is generally included with each error to further clarify its meaning.
The error messages are listed numerically. In cases where there are multiple
listings for the same error number, the messages are in alphabetical order.
