Error Messages
Errors are detected and saved to the error queue in first in, first out (FIFO) order. The error
that was detected first is displayed first. When all the messages in the error queue are
retrieved, the ERROR indicator turns off. The DME1600 beeps once each time an error
occurs.
When more than 20 errors have been detected, the last error stored in the error queue (the
most recent error) changes to “-350, Too many error.” As long as no errors are deleted from
the queue, no additional errors can be stored, and the DME1600 will show “+0, No error.”
The error queue is cleared when the power is turned off or a *CLS (clear status) command is
executed. The *RST (reset) command does not clear the error queue.
