Questionable Condition
Returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the Questionable Condition
register.
NOTE
The data in this register is continuously updated and reflects current conditions.

Questionable Enable
Determines which bits in the "Questionable Event Query" on page 2594 Register will
set the Questionable Status Summary bit (bit3) in the "Status Byte Register" on page
2579.
The variable <integer> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to
enable.
NOTE
The preset condition is all bits in this enable register set to 0. To report any
Questionable Events to the Status Byte Register, one or more bits need to be set
to 1. The "Standard Event Status Register" on page 2583 should be queried after
each measurement to check the Questionable Status Summary (bit 3). If it is
equal to 1, a condition during the test may have made the test results invalid. If it
is equal to 0, this indicates that no hardware problem or measurement problem
was detected by the analyzer.
