SCPI Status Registers
Status register programming lets you determine the operating condition of the
instrument at any time. The instrument has three groups of status registers;
Operation, Questionable, and Standard Event. The Operation and Questionable
Status groups each consists of Condition, Enable, Event registers, and
Negative-Transition (NTR) and Positive-Transition (PTR) filters. The Status
subsystem is also programmed using Common commands. Common commands
control additional status functions such as the Service Request Enable and the
Status Byte registers.
The U2722A/U2723A uses the Operation, Questionable, Standard Event, and
Status Byte register groups to record a variety of instrument conditions. The
relationship between various registers in the U2722A/U2723A SCPI status system
is shown in Figure 1.
