Unlike the Condition Register, the bits in the Event Register remain set following
the condition that occurred. The bits are cleared by reading the register.
Enable Register
The 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 Event Register are enabled with the command:
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle <enable>
STATus:QUEStionable: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 possible time base
errors: STAT:QUES:ENAB 1024.
Standard Operation Register Group
The counter’s Standard Operation Register Group monitors operational conditions
within the counter. These include:
– calibration in progress
– battery operation
– battery charge status
– measurement in progress
– waiting for trigger
– internal reference oscillator in use
– remote interface lock and remote interface errors
– configuration change
– reading memory threshold reached
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.
