status.operation.*
These attributes manage the operation status register set of the status model.
Usage
operationRegister = status.operation.condition
operationRegister = status.operation.enable
operationRegister = status.operation.event
operationRegister = status.operation.ntr
operationRegister = status.operation.ptr
status.operation.enable = operationRegister
status.operation.ntr = operationRegister
status.operation.ptr = operationRegister
The status of the operation status register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set (also send
0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various bit settings
Details
These attributes read or write the operation status 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, if a value of 2.04800e+04 (which is 20,480) is read as the value of the
condition register, the binary equivalent is 0101 0000 0000 0000. This value indicates that bit B14
(PROGRAM_RUNNING) and bit B12 (USER) are set.

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.
