Questionable Data Register
The overload bits are set once per INITiate command. If you clear an overload bit, it is not set again until a
new INITiate is sent.
Bit number Bit name Decimal value Definition
0 Voltage Overload 1 A voltage measurement overloaded. Event only; condition register will return 0.
1 Current Overload 2 A current measurement overloaded. Event only; condition register will return 0.
2 Sample Timing Violation 4 A sample timing violation has occurred involving the SAMPle:TIMer command in
single channel DMM digitizing mode. Sample timing may not be valid.
3 Not Used 8 (Always returns 0)
4 Not Used 16 (Always returns 0)
5 Frequency Overload /
Underflow
32 A frequency or period measurement overloaded or timed out due to no signal.
Event only; condition register will return 0.
6 Not Used 64 (Always returns 0)
7 Capacitance Overload 128 A capacitance measurement overloaded. Event only; condition register will
return 0.
8 DMM Calibration Corrupt 256 At least one DMM calibration constant is corrupt.
9 Resistance Overload 512 A resistance measurement overloaded. Event only; condition register will return
0.
10 Temperature Overload 1024 A temperature measurement overloaded. Event only; condition register will
return 0.
11 Totalizer Overflow 2048 A totalizer channel has overflowed its maximum count. Event only; condition
register will return 0.
12 Reading Memory Over-
