Model 6485 Picoammeter Instruction Manual Status Structure 10-11
• Bit B0, operation complete — Set bit indicates that all pending selected device
operations are completed and Model 6485 is ready to accept new commands. This
bit only sets in response to the *OPC? query command. See Section 12 for details
on *OPC and *OPC?.
• Bit B2, query error (QYE) — Set bit indicates that you attempted to read data
from an empty output queue.
• Bit B3, device-dependent error (DDE) — Set bit indicates that an instrument
operation did not execute properly due to some internal condition.
• Bit B4, execution error (EXE) — Set bit indicates that Model 6485 detected an
error while trying to execute a command.
• Bit B5, command error (CME) — Set bit indicates that a command error has
occurred.
Command errors include:
→ IEEE-488.2 syntax error — Model 6485 received a message that does not follow
the defined syntax of the IEEE-488.2 standard.
