5-58 SCPI Command Reference
:CONDition? command
:CONDition?
:STATus:MEASurement:CONDition? Read Measurement Condition Register
:STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition? Read Questionable Condition Register
:STATus:OPERation:CONDition? Read Operation Condition Register
Description
These query commands are used to read the contents of the condition regis-
ters. Each set of event registers (except the Standard Event register set) has a
condition register. A condition register is similar to its corresponding event
register, except that it is a real-time register that constantly updates to reflect
the current operating status of the instrument. See [:EVENt] for register bit
descriptions.
After sending one of these commands and addressing the Model 2000 to talk,
a decimal value is sent to the computer. The binary equivalent of this decimal
value indicates which bits in the register are set.
For example, if sending :stat:meas:cond? returns a decimal value of 512 (bi-
nary 0000001000000000), bit B9 of the Measurement Condition Register is
set indicating that the trace buffer is full.
:PRESET command
:PRESET
:STATUS:PRESET Return registers to default conditions

All bits of the following registers are cleared to zero (0):
