Usage
measurementRegister = status.measurement.sink_limit.condition
measurementRegister = status.measurement.sink_limit.enable
measurementRegister = status.measurement.sink_limit.event
measurementRegister = status.measurement.sink_limit.ntr
measurementRegister = status.measurement.sink_limit.ptr
status.measurement.sink_limit.enable = measurementRegister
status.measurement.sink_limit.ntr = measurementRegister
status.measurement.sink_limit.ptr = measurementRegister
measurementRegister
The status of the measurement sink limit summary register; a zero (0) indicates
no bits set (also send 0 to clear all bits); the only valid value other than 0 is 2
Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the measurement event sink limit 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 the value 2 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent is 0000 0000 0000 0010. This value
indicates that bit B1 (SMUA) is 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
B0 Not used Not applicable.
B1
status.measurement.sink_limit.SMUA
Set bit indicates that the sink limit was
exceeded.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
Binary value: 0000 0000 0000 0010
B2-B15 Not used Not applicable.
As an example, to set bit B1 of the measurement event sink limit summary enable register, set
status.measurement.sink_limit.enable = status.measurement.sink_limit.SMUA.
In addition to the above constants, measurementRegister can be set to the numeric equivalent of the bit to
set. For example, to set bit B1, set measurementRegister to 2.
