Usage
measurementRegister = status.measurement.buffer_available.condition
measurementRegister = status.measurement.buffer_available.enable
measurementRegister = status.measurement.buffer_available.event
measurementRegister = status.measurement.buffer_available.ntr
measurementRegister = status.measurement.buffer_available.ptr
status.measurement.buffer_available.enable = measurementRegister
status.measurement.buffer_available.ntr = measurementRegister
status.measurement.buffer_available.ptr = measurementRegister
The status of the measurement event register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set
(also send 0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various bit settings
Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the measurement event buffer available summary registers.
Reading a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates which register
bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit B0, and the most significant bit is bit B15. For
example, assume value 6 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent is 0000 0000 0000 0110. This
value indicates that bit B1 (SMUA) and bit B2 (SMUB) are set.
For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to Status register set contents (on
page E-1) and Enable and transition registers (on page E-19). The individual bits of this register are defined in
the following table.
Bit Value Description
B1
status.measurement.buffer_available.SMUA
Set bit indicates that there is at least one
reading stored in either or both of the dedicated
reading buffers.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
status.measurement.buffer_available.SMUB
This bit is only available on Models
2602B/2604B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2636B. Set
bit indicates that there is at least one reading
stored in either or both of the dedicated reading
buffers.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
