Usage
questionableRegister = status.questionable.over_temperature.condition
questionableRegister = status.questionable.over_temperature.enable
questionableRegister = status.questionable.over_temperature.event
questionableRegister = status.questionable.over_temperature.ntr
questionableRegister = status.questionable.over_temperature.ptr
status.questionable.over_temperature.enable = questionableRegister
status.questionable.over_temperature.ntr = questionableRegister
status.questionable.over_temperature.ptr = questionableRegister
The status of the questionable status over temperature summary
register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set (also send 0 to clear all
bits); other values indicate various bit settings
Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the questionable status over temperature summary
registers. Reading a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value
indicates which register bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit B0, and the
most significant bit is bit B15.
For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to Status register set
contents (on page 12-1) and Enable and transition registers (on page 12-19). The individual bits of
this register are defined in the following table.
status.questionable.over_temperature.SMUA
Set bit indicates that an over
temperature condition was
detected on SMU A.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
Binary value: 0000 0010
status.questionable.over_temperature.SMUB
This bit is only available on
2602B, 2604B, 2612B, 2614B,
2634B, 2636B. Set bit indicates
that an over temperature condition
was detected on SMU B.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
Binary value: 0000 0100
As an example, to set bit B1 of the questionable status over temperature summary enable register,
set status.questionable.instrument.enable =
status.questionable.instrument.SMUA.
In addition to the above constants, questionableRegister can be set to the numeric equivalent of
the bit to set. To set more than one bit of the register, set operationRegister to the sum of their
decimal weights. For example, to set bits B1 and B2, set questionableRegister to 6 (which is the
sum of 2 + 4).
Example
status.questionable.over_temperature.enable =
status.questionable.over_temperature.SMUA
Uses a constant to set the SMU A bit in the questionable status over temperature summary enable register.
