Status Register Set Commands 
This section describes the five status register set commands. Each can be used to 
examine all of the status registers listed on page 261. 
To apply a command to a specific register, prefix the command with the name of 
the appropriate register. For example, to apply the :ENABle command to the 
STATus:QUEStionable register, use the following command:
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle
The status register set commands detailed in this section are as follows:
:CONDition? 
This query returns a 16-bit decimal-weighted number representing the bits set in 
the condition register of the SCPI register set you require to control. The format of 
the return is <NR1> in the range of 0 to 32767 (2
15
–1). The contents of the 
condition register remain unchanged after it is read.
