Instrument Status 8
Keysight 53210A User’s Guide 225
Condition Register
The Condition Register within the Standard Operation Register Group monitors
current conditions regarding the operational state of the instrument. The
Condition Register is read with the command:
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
Reading the register does not clear the bit(s) in the register. The bit is cleared
when the condition is removed.
Event Register
The Event Register within the Standard Operation Register Group also monitors
the instrument state. The Event Register is read with the command:
STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
Unlike the Condition Register, the bits in the Event Register remain set following
the state that occurred. The bits are cleared by reading the register.
Enable Register
The Standard Operation Register Group Enable Register specifies which bits in the
Event register can generate a summary bit which is subsequently used to
generate a service request.
Bits within the (operational) event register are enabled with the command:
STATus:OPERation:ENABle <enable>
STATus:OPERation:ENABle? (query form)
– enable: decimal value corresponding to the binary-weighted sum of the bits in
the register. For example, to enable the bit monitoring low (critical) battery
charge:
STAT:OPER:ENAB 4.
