Requirements

Test Application Revision: A.01.00 and above

Programming Example

"SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:SELF:ADDRess 14"

Function

Sets/queries the test set's SCPI debugger state.

When the state is on; enhanced error messages (generated from GPIB commands with syntax errors) are shown the test set display.
