Device Status Register Sets
The status registers contain information which give device status information. The
contents of the individual registers of these register sets may be accessed by
appending the commands listed in “Status Register Set Commands”.
The following command descriptions detail the SCPI register you require to
control but do not detail the register set commands.
The one device status register set is:
STATus:DEVice:
The following bits in these registers are used by the power meter:
The Channel A and B sensor connected bits (bits 1 and 2), when queried with the
STATus:DEVice:CONDition? query are set to:
– 1, when a power sensor is connected
– 0, when no power sensor is connected
The Channel A and B sensor connected bits (bits 1 and 2), when queried with the
STATus:DEVice:EVENt? query indicate whether a power sensor has been
connected or disconnected depending on the state of the corresponding bits of
STATus:DEVice:NTRansition and STATus:DEVice:PTRansition. If the
corresponding bit in:
