Agilent Technologies 8163B Programming Guide

Instrument Setup and Status Status Reporting – The STATus Subsystem
72 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
command:
:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle[:LEVel0]
syntax: :STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle[:LEVel0]<wsp><value>
description: Sets the bits in the Questionable Status Enable Summary Mask (QSESM) that enable the
contents of the QSESR to affect the Status Byte (STB).
Setting a bit in this register to 1 enables the corresponding bit in the QSESR to affect bit 3 of
the Status Byte.
parameters: The bit value for the questionable enable mask as a 16-bit signed integer value (0 .. +32767)
The default value is 0.
response: none
example: stat:ques:enab 128
command:
:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle[:LEVel0]?
syntax: :STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle[:LEVel0]?
description: Returns the QSESM for the event register
parameters: none
response: The bit value for the QSEM as a 16-bit signed integer value (0 .. +32767)
example: stat:ques:enab? → +128<END>
command:
:STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]:LEVel1?
syntax: :STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]:LEVel1?
description: Returns the Questionable Status Event Summary Register (QSESR) for slots 15 to 17 of the
Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel System.
parameters: none
response: The sum of the results for the slots (a 16-bit signed integer value, where 0 ≤ value ≤ 32767):
