Questionable Status Group
These two register groups record signals that indicate abnormal operation. The group consists of a
Condition, PTR/NTR, Event, and Enable register. The outputs of the Questionable Status group are
logically-ORed into the QUEStionable summary bit (3) of the Status Byte register. Refer to Status
Registers for a description of each register. The following table describes the Questionable1 Status
register bit assignments.
