Grading mode status bit values:
Example reading string
The example ASCII reading string shown in Figure 17-1 shows a measure-
ment of a 10kΩ resistor, with the SourceMeter configured to Source I Mea-
sure V. The voltage reading is the voltage measurement (1.000236V), the
current reading is the current source value (100Ω), and the operation was
performed 72.826 seconds after the SourceMeter was turned on (or after
timestamp was reset). The status reading of 48,132 indicates that bits 2, 10,
11, 12, 13, and 15 of the status word are set.
