* Least significant bit
** Most significant bit
Assigning a value to this attribute enables one or more status events. When an enabled status event
occurs, a summary bit is set in the appropriate system summary register. The register and bit that is
set depends on the TSP-Link node number assigned to this instrument.
For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to Status register set
contents (on page C-1) and Enable and transition registers (on page C-19). The individual bits of this
register are defined in the following table.
status.MEASUREMENT_SUMMARY_BIT
status.MSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled
measurement event has occurred.
Bit B0 decimal value: 1
status.ERROR_AVAILABLE
status.EAV
Set summary bit indicates that an error or status
message is present in the error queue.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
status.QUESTIONABLE_SUMMARY_BIT
status.QSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled
questionable event has occurred.
Bit B3 decimal value: 8
status.MESSAGE_AVAILABLE
status.MAV
Set summary bit indicates that a response
message is present in the output queue.
Bit B4 decimal value: 16
status.EVENT_SUMMARY_BIT
status.ESB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled
standard event has occurred.
Bit B5 decimal value: 32
status.MASTER_SUMMARY_STATUS
status.MSS
Set bit indicates that an enabled Master Summary
Status (MSS) bit of the Status Byte Register is
set.
Bit B6 decimal value: 64
status.OPERATION_SUMMARY_BIT
status.OSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled
operation event has occurred.
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
As an example, to set the B0 bit of the system node enable register, set status.node_enable =
status.MSB.
