The table below explains the meanings of the bits in the status byte register.
(5) Standard event register
The table below explains the meanings of the bits in the standard event register.
Bit Function Description
7 OPR The OPR bit is a summary of the standard operation
status register
6 MSS The RQS bit is true when the MSS bit of the status
byte register is set to 1. The MSS bit is the summary
bit for the entire status data structure.
The serial poll cannot read out the MSS bit.
(However, the MSS bit is understood to be 1 when the
RQS bit is 1.)
To read the MSS bit, use the common command
*STB?. The *STB? command can read out bit 0 to 5
and bit 7 of the status byte register and the MSS bit.
In this case, neither the status byte register nor the
MSS bit can be cleared.
The MSS bit cannot become 0 until all the unmasked
factors in the status register structure have been
cleared
5 ESB The ESB bit is a summary of the standard event
register
4 MAV Summary bit for the output buffer.
This instrument does not use this bit.
3 to 1 This is always 0
0 UCAL This is set to 1 when an signal level error occurs
because the sweep is too fast

Description
7 Power on This is set to 1 when the spectrum analyzer is

6This is always 0
5 Command Error This is set to 1 when the parser finds a syntax error
4 Execution Error This is set to 1 when the system fails to execute an
instruction received as a GPIB command for some

3 Device Dependent
Error
This is set to 1 when errors other than command
errors, execution errors, or query errors occur
2 Query Error This is set to 1 when no data exists or data has been
