status.node_event
Attribute Status node event register.
Usage Reads the status node event register:
nodeeventreg = status.node_event
Remarks • This attribute is used to read the status node event register, which is returned as a
numeric value. Reading this register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned
value. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit 0, and the most significant bit is
bit 7.
• For example, assume value 129 is returned for the event register. The binary equivalent is
10000001. This value indicates that bit B0 (MSB) and bit B7 (OSB) are set.
• The status node event register uses most of the same summary events as the status byte.
Bit B1(MSB) is not used, and bit B6 is used as Master Summary Status (MSS). For
details, see “
status.condition” register.
Details See “Status byte and service request (SRQ)” in Appendix D.
Example Reads the status node event register:
nodeeventreg = status.node_event
print(nodeeventreg)
Output: 1.29000e+02
The above output indicates that bits B0 (MSS) and B7 (OSB) are set.
