9 Programming the Instrument
9.4 Status Register System & STATus Subsystem
Bit Condition Operation
0 Calibrating The instrument is busy executing its Align Now process
1 Settling The instrument circuitry is settling
3 Sweeping The instrument is busy taking a sweep
4 Measuring The instrument is busy making a measurement. Measurements often
require multiple sweeps. They are initiated by user-interface keys or
with the MEASure group of commands
The bit is valid for most X-Series Modes
5 Waiting for
trigger
The instrument is waiting for the trigger conditions to be met, then it
will trigger a sweep or measurement
6 Waiting for
Periodic Sync
Source
The instrument is waiting for the Periodic trigger Sync Source
conditions to be met, then the sweep or measurement period will be
synchronized
8 Paused The measurement is paused
9 Source

in VXT models: M9410A/11A/15A/16A, M9410E/11E/15E/16E,
E6680A/80E/81A, S9110A/01A/06A/08A/15A/30A, M8920B
10 DC Coupled The instrument is DC coupled
