Status Reporting Commands
SYSTem:ERRor?
This command queries the meter’s error queue. Up to 20 errors can be
stored in the queue. Errors are retrieved in first-in-first out (
FIFO) order.
Each error string may contain up to 80 characters.
STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
This command queries the questionable status condition register. The
meter returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted
sum of all bits set in the register.
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle < enable value >
This command enables bits in the Questionable Data enable register. The
selected bits are then reported to the Status Byte.
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle?
This command queries the Questionable Data enable register. The meter
returns a binary-weighted decimal representing the bits set in the enable
register.
STATus:QUEStionable:EVENt?
This command queries the Questionable Data event register. The meter
returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of
all bits set in the register.
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
This command queries the operational status condition register. The
meter returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted
sum of all bits set in the register. Only bit 8 (decimal 256) is used
(indicates the digital filter has settled).
STATus:OPERation:ENABle < enable value >
This command enables bits in the Questionable Data enable register. The
selected bits are then reported to the Status Byte.
STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
This command queries the Questionable Data enable register. The meter
returns a binary-weighted decimal representing the bits set in the enable
register.
