7.3.7.4 STATus:OPERation (Overall Evaluation)
Information about the current state of tasks and state transitions of tasks can be derived
from evaluation of the STATus:OPERation register hierarchy. This can be a laborious
task if you have to query the registers one by one, tracing events top down and inter-
preting the decimal representation of bit values.
The commands listed below offer a much more comfortable way to evaluate the STA-
Tus:OPERation register hierarchy. They allow to query the current states or state tran-
sitions of all tasks. You can even display all measurement or generator tasks being in a
certain state. And you can use the command STATus:EVENt:BITS:NEXT? within pro-
grams reacting on state transitions.
Most commands return a single string or a comma separated list of strings. Each string
is composed of the complete path of the status register plus the state. Example of a result
list (with additional line breaks for better readability):
"STAT:OPER:TASK:A:GPRF:MEAS1:POW:OFF",
"STAT:OPER:TASK:A:GPRF:MEAS1:IQVS:QUED",
"STAT:OPER:TASK:A:GPRF:MEAS1:EPS:RUN",
"STAT:OPER:TASK:A:GPRF:MEAS1:IQR:OFF",
"STAT:OPER:TASK:A:GPRF:GEN1:UNIV:ON"

STATus:CONDition:BITS:ALL? ['<RegExp>']
This command offers a comfortable way to get an overview of all task states, without
querying each register individually.
