SYSTem:ERRor?
This query returns the next error number followed by its corresponding error message string
from the remote programming error queue. The queue is a FIFO (first-in, first-out) buffer that
stores errors as they occur. As it is read, each error is removed from the queue. When all
errors have been read, the query returns 0,"No Error". If more errors are accumulated than
the queue can hold, the last error in the queue is -350,"Too Many Errors".

Returned Parameters
Example
SYSTem:KLOCk
This command sets or clears the power on LOCAL or REMOTE state. When set (1), the AC
Source will power up in remote state, locking out all keyboard controls. The local state can
only be entered by sending a bus command. This mode may be used to prevent operator
access to front panel controls under all conditions. Note that changing the state of the KLOC
setting does not change the REMOTE or LOCAL state. This setting only affects the
REMOTE/LOCAL state at power-up.
