STATus:ALARm:CONDition?
Only supported on multiplexer modules (DAQM900A, DAQM901A, DAQM902A, and DAQM908A) and
DAQM907A multifunction module.
Queries the condition register for the Alarm Enable Register group (note that this condition register uses only bit 4).
This is a read-only register and the bits are not cleared when you read the register.The query reads the condition
register and returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.
Parameter Typical return
(none) +448
Reads the condition register (bits 6 to 8 are set):STAT:ALAR:COND?
– A Factory Reset (*RST command) will clear the "Queue Not Empty" bit (bit 4) in the condition register.
STATus:ALARm:ENABle <enable>
STATus:ALARm:ENABle?
Only supported on multiplexer modules (DAQM900A, DAQM901A, DAQM902A, and DAQM908A) and
DAQM907A multifunction module.
Enables bits in the enable register for the Alarm Enable Register group. The selected bits are then reported to the
Status Byte Register. The query reads the enable register and returns a decimal value that corresponds to the bin-
ary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.
Parameter Typical return
Numeric. An integer from 0 to 65535. +15
Enables alarm registers from bits 0 through 3: STAT:ALAR:ENAB 15
STATus:ALARm[:EVENt]?
Only supported on multiplexer modules (DAQM900A, DAQM901A, DAQM902A, and DAQM908A) and
DAQM907A multifunction module.
Returns the sum of the bits in the event register for the Alarm Enable Register group. This is a read-destructive
register and these bits are cleared when you read the register. The query reads the enable register and returns a
decimal value that corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.
Parameter Typical return
(none) +5
Indicates that alarm events have occurred on alarms 1 and 3: STAT:ALAR:EVEN?
– Note that if any of bits 0 through 3 are set, bit 4 will also be set to indicate that the Alarm Queue is not empty (bit
4 is a queue not empty bit in Alarm Enable Register group).
– Once a bit is set, it remains set until cleared by reading the event register or the clear status command (*CLS).
