STATus Subsystem
STATus Subsystem
The STATus subsystem controls the SCPI-defined instrument-status
reporting structures. Each status register has a set of five commands
used for querying or masking that particular register.
Operation Register
Operation Condition Query
:STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the
Status Operation Condition register.
NOTE The data in this register is continuously updated and reflects the
current conditions.
Operation Enable
BASE
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
This command determines what bits in the Operation Event register,
will set the Operation Status Summary bit (bit 7) in the Status Byte
Register. The variable <number> is the sum of the decimal values of the
bits you want to enable.
NOTE The preset condition is to have all bits in this enable register set to 0. To
have any Operation Events reported to the Status Byte Register, one or
more bits need to be set to 1. There is little reason to have any bits
enabled for typical manufacturing tests. Enabling bits in this register
would be of more value during test development.
Factory Preset
and *RST:
Range: 0 to 32767
Operation Event Query
:STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the
Operation Event register.
