ORed into the OPERation summary bit (7) of the Status Byte register. Refer to Status Registers for a
description of each register. The following table describes the bit assignments.
Bit BitName Decimal Value Definition
0 CV 1 Output is in constant voltage
1 CC 2 Output is in constant current
2 OFF 4 Output is programmed off
3 WTG-meas 8 Measurement system is waiting for a trigger
4 WTG-tran 16 Transient system is waiting for a trigger
5 MEAS-active 32 Measurement system is initiated
6 TRAN-active 64 Transient system is initiated
7-8 not used not used 0 is returned
9 CR 256 Output is in constant resistance mode
10 CP 512 Output is in constant power mode
11 SH 1024 Load Input terminals are shorted
12-15 not used not used 0 is returned
Questionable Status Group
These register groups record signals that indicate abnormal operation. The group consists of a
Condition, PTR/NTR, Event, and Enable register. The outputs of the Questionable Status group are
logically-ORed into the QUEStionable summary bit (3) of the Status Byte register. Refer to Status
Registers for a description of each register. The following table describes the bit assignments.
Bit BitName Decimal Value Definition
0 OV 1 Output is disabled by the over-voltage protection
1 OC 2 Output is disabled by the over-current protection
2 PF 4 Output is disabled by an AC power-fail (low-line or brownout)
3 CP+ 8 Output is limited (or disabled) by the positive power limit
4 OT 16 Over-temperature protection has tripped
5 CP– 32 Output is limited by the negative power limit
6 OV– 64 Negative over-voltage protection has tripped
7 LIM+ 128 In voltage priority mode, the output is in positive current limit
In current priority mode, the output is in positive voltage limit
In power and resistance priority modes, the output is in positive current limit
8 LIM– 256 In voltage priority mode, the output is in negative current limit
In current priority mode, the output is in negative voltage limit
9 INH 512 Output is disabled by an external INHibit signal
10 UNR 1024 Output is unregulated
