Status structure
See Figure 4-5 for the Model 2016 THD Multimeters status structure. Instrument events, such
as errors, are monitored and manipulated by four status register sets. Notice that these status
register sets feed directly into the Status Byte Register. More detailed illustrations of these
register sets are provided by Figure 4-5 through Figure 4-9.
