7Power On 1 = Test Set’s power supply has been turned off and then on since
the last time this register was read.
6 User Request Not implemented in Test Set.
5 Command Error 1 = The Test Set detected an error while trying to process a com-
mand. The following events cause a command error:
a An IEEE 488.2 syntax error. This means that the Test Set re-
ceived a message that did not follow the syntax defined by the
Standard.
b A semantic error. For example, the Test Set received an
incorrectly spelled command.
c The Test Set received a Group Execute Trigger (GET) inside a
program message.
4 Execution Error 1 = The Test Set detected an error while trying to execute a com-
mand. The following events cause an execution error:
a A <PROGRAM DATA> element received in a command is
outside the legal range for the Test Set or is inconsistent with
the operation of the Test Set.
b The Test Set could not execute a valid command due to some
Test Set hardware/firmware condition.
3 Device Dependent Error 1 = A Test Set dependent error has occurred. This means that
some Test Set operation did not execute properly due to some
internal condition, such as over range. This bit indicates that the
error was not a command, query or execution error.
