STATus Subsystem
The STATus command subsystem enables you to examine the status of the power
meter by monitoring the following status registers:
– Device status register
– Operation status register
– Questionable status register
The contents of these and other registers in the power meter are determined by
one or more status registers.
Table 11-1 summarizes the effects of various commands and events on these
status registers:
The contents of the status registers are examined using the following status
register set commands:
:CONDition?
:ENABle <NRf>|<non-decimal numeric>
[:EVENt?]
:NTRansition <NRf>|<non-decimal numeric>
:PTRansition <NRf>|<non-decimal numeric>
Each of these can be used to examine any of the following eleven status registers:
