Usage
operationRegister = status.operation.sweeping.condition
operationRegister = status.operation.sweeping.enable
operationRegister = status.operation.sweeping.event
operationRegister = status.operation.sweeping.ntr
operationRegister = status.operation.sweeping.ptr
status.operation.sweeping.enable = operationRegister
status.operation.sweeping.ntr = operationRegister
status.operation.sweeping.ptr = operationRegister
The status of the operation status sweeping summary 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 operation status sweeping 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 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
status.operation.sweeping.SMUA
Set bit indicates that SMU A is sweeping.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
status.operation.sweeping.SMUB
This bit is only available on Models
2602B/2604B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2636B. Set bit
indicates SMU B is sweeping.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
B3-B15 Not used Not applicable.
As an example, to set bit B1 of the operation status sweeping summary enable register, set
status.operation.sweeping.enable = status.operation.sweeping.SMUA.
In addition to the above constants, operationRegister can be set to the numeric equivalent of the bit to set.
To set more than one bit of the register, set operationRegister to the sum of their decimal weights. For
example, to set bits B1 and B2, set operationRegister to 6 (which is the sum of 2 + 4).
Example
status.operation.sweeping.enable =
status.operation.sweeping.SMUA
Uses a constant to set the SMUA bit
of the operation status sweeping
