Status Reporting Commands
SYSTem:ERRor?
This command queries the meter’s error queue. Up to 20 errors can be stored in 
the queue. Errors are retrieved in first-in-first out (FIFO) order. Each error string 
may contain up to 80 characters.
STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
This command queries the questionable status condition register. The meter 
returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits 
set in the register.
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle <enable value>
This command enables bits in the Questionable Data enable register. The selected 
bits are then reported to the Status Byte.
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle?
This command queries the Questionable Data enable register. The meter returns a 
binary-weighted decimal representing the bits set in the enable register.
STATus:QUEStionable:EVENt?
This command queries the Questionable Data event register. The meter returns a 
decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the 
register.
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
This command queries the operational status condition register. The meter 
returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits 
set in the register. Only bit 8 (decimal 256) is used (indicates the digital filter has 
settled).
STATus:OPERation:ENABle <enable value>
This command enables bits in the Questionable Data enable register. The selected 
bits are then reported to the Status Byte.
STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
This command queries the Questionable Data enable register. The meter returns a 
binary-weighted decimal representing the bits set in the enable register.
