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
B0*
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.VOLTAGE_LIMIT
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.VLMT
Set bit indicates that the
voltage limit was
exceeded.
Bit B0 decimal value: 1
B1*
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.CURRENT_LIMIT
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.ILMT
Set bit indicates that the
current limit was exceeded.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
B2-B6
Not used
Not applicable.
B7
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.READING_OVERFLOW
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.ROF
Set bit indicates that an
overflow reading has been
detected.
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
B8
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.BUFFER_AVAILABLE
status.measurement.instrument.smuX.BAV
Set bit indicates that there
is at least one reading
stored in either or both of
the dedicated reading
buffers.
Bit B8 decimal value: 256
B9-B15 Not used Not applicable.
* This bit will be updated only when a measurement is taken or smuX.source.compliance is invoked.
As an example, to set bit B0 of the measurement event SMU X summary enable register, set
status.measurement.instrument.smua.enable = status.measurement.instrument.smua.VLMT.
In addition to the above constants, measurementRegister can be set to the decimal equivalent of the bit to
set. To set more than one bit of the register, set measurementRegister to the sum of their decimal weights.
For example, to set bits B1 and B8, set measurementRegister to 258 (which is the sum of 2 + 256).
