Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the operation status calibration 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
B0 Not used Not applicable.
B1
status.operation.calibrating.SMUA
Set bit indicates that SMU A is unlocked for
calibration.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
Binary value: 0000 0010
B2-B15 Not used Not applicable.
As an example, to set bit B1 of the operation status calibration summary enable register, set
status.operation.calibrating.enable = status.operation.calibrating.SMUA.
In addition to the above constant, operationRegister can be set to the decimal equivalent of the bit to set.
Example
status.operation.calibrating.enable =
status.operation.calibrating.SMUA
Sets the SMUA bit of the operation
status calibration summary enable
register using a constant.

Usage
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.condition
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.enable
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.event
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.ntr
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.ptr
status.operation.instrument.enable = operationRegister
status.operation.instrument.ntr = operationRegister
status.operation.instrument.ptr = operationRegister
operationRegister
The status of the operation event register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set (also send
0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various bit settings
