STATus subsystem
The STATus subsystem is used to control the status registers of the Model 2510. The com-
mands in this subsystem are summarized in Table 10-7.
NOTE These registers and the overall status structure are fully explained in Section 7.
Read event registers
[:EVENt]?
:STATus:MEASurement[:EVENt]? Read Measurement Event Register
:STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]? Read Questionable Event Register
:STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? Read Operation Event Register
Description These query commands are used to read the contents of the status event
registers. After sending one of these commands and addressing the
Model 2510 to talk, a value is sent to the computer. This value indicates
which bits in the appropriate register are set.
Program event enable registers
:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf>
:STATus:MEASurement:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf> Program Measurement Event Enable Register
:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf> Program Questionable Event Enable Register
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf> Program Operation Event Enable Register
Parameters <NDN> = #Bxx...x Binary format (each x = 1 or 0)
#Hx Hexadecimal format (x = 0 to FFFF)
#Qx Octal format (x = 0 to 177777)
<NRf> = 0 to 65535 Decimal format
Query :ENABle? Read an enable register
Description These commands are used to program the enable registers of the status
structure. The binary equivalent of the parameter value that is sent deter-
mines which bits in the register gets set. See Section 7 for details.
