The following commands access the operation status group. 
 
 
6.7.4.1  :STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? 
 
Reads the event register in the operation status group. It’s a read-only register. Once 
a bit is set, it remains set until cleared by this command or *CLS command. A query 
of the register returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted 
sum of all bits set in the register. 
 
 
6.7.4.2  :STATus:OPERation:CONDition? 
 
Reads the condition register in the operation status group. It’s a read-only register 
and bits are not cleared when you read the register. A query of the register returns a 
decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the 
register. 
 
 
6.7.4.3  :STATus:OPERation:ENABle[?] 
 
Sets or queries the enable register in the operation status group. The selected bits 
are then reported to the Status Byte. A *CLS will not clear the enable register but it 
does clear all bits in the event register. To enable bits in the enable register, you 
must write a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of the bits 
you wish to enable in the register. 
 
 
6.7.4.4  :STATus:OPERation:NTRansition[?] 
 
Sets or queries the negative-transition register in the operation status group. A 
negative transition filter allows an event to be reported when a condition changes 
from true to false. Setting both positive/negative filters true allows an event to be 
reported anytime the condition changes. Clearing both filters disable event reporting. 
The contents of transition filters are unchanged by *CLS and *RST.
