Measurement event register
The used bits of the measurement event register (Figure 13-6) are described as follows:
• Bit B0, Limit 1 Summary (L1): Set bit indicates Limit 1 summary information is available in
the :FORM:ELEM STAT element (see Section 16, “FORMat subsystem”).
• Bit B1, Limit 2 Summary (L2): Set bit indicates Limit 2 summary information is available in
the :FORM:ELEM STAT element.
• Bit B2, Limit 3 Summary (L3): Set bit indicates Limit 3 summary information is available in
the :FORM:ELEM STAT element.
• Bit B3, Limit 4 Summary (L4): Set bit indicates Limit 4 summary information is available in
the :FORM:ELEM STAT element.
• Bit B4, Limit Fail High (LFH): Set bit indicates that one of the high limit tests has failed.
• Bit B5, Limits Pass (LP): Set bit indicates that all limit tests passed.
• Bit B6, Reading Available (RAV): Set bit indicates that a reading was taken and
processed.
• Bit B7, Reading Overflow (ROF): Set bit indicates that the current reading exceeds the
selected measurement range of the Model 6482.
• Bit B8, Buffer Available (BAV): Set bit indicates that there are at least two readings in the
buffer.
• Bit B9, Buffer Full (BFL): Set bit indicates that the trace buffer is full.
• Bit B10: Not used.
• Bit B11, Output Enable Asserted (OE): Set bit indicates that the output enable line is at
digital low (asserted). Source outputs can be turned on.
• Bit B12: Not used.
• Bit B13, Source 1 Compliance (S1C): Set bit indicates that the channel 1 voltage source is
in compliance.
• Bit B14, Source 2 Compliance (S2C): Set bit indicates that the channel 2 voltage source is
in compliance.
• Bit B15: Not used.
