Example
Error Query. When an error occurs, it sets a bit in the error register and
illuminates the display's ERR annunciator. The ERR? command returns a
number representing all set bits, clears the register, and shuts off the
annunciator. The returned number is the weighted sum of all set bits.

The error conditions and their weighted values are:
Weighted Bit

1 0
2 1
4 2
8 3
16 4

•
The ERR? command returns a 0 if no error bits are set.
•
If bit 0 is set (weight = l), refer to the auxiliary error register (AUXERR?
command) for more information.
•
Executing the ERR? command clears the status register's error bit (bit 5).
