5-54 SCPI Command Reference
:CONTinuity command
:THReshold <n>
[SENSe[1]]:CONTinuity:THReshold <NRf> Specify threshold resistance
Parameters <NRf> = 1 to 1000 Specify threshold in ohms
Query :THReshold? Query threshold resistance
This command is used to specify the threshold resistance for the continuity
test. Continuity occurs when the measurement is less than or equal to the
specified threshold level.
STATus subsystem
The STATus subsystem is used to control the status registers of the
Model 2010. The commands in this subsystem are summarized in Table 5-7.
[:EVENt]? command
[:EVENt]?
:STATus:MEASurement[:EVENt]? Read Measurement Event Register
:STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? Read Operation Event Register
:STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]? Read Questionable Event Register
Description These query commands are used to read the event registers. After sending
one of these commands and addressing the Model 2010 to talk, a decimal
value is sent to the computer. The binary equivalent of this value determines
which bits in the appropriate register are set. The event registers are shown
in Figure 5-4, Figure 5-5, andFigure 5-6. Note that reading an event register
clears the bits in that register.
For example, assume that reading the Measurement Event Register results in
an acquired decimal value of 544. The binary equivalent is
0000001000100000. For this binary value, bits B5 and B9 of the
Measurement Event Register are set.
