Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the operation status instrument 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 example, if a value of 1.02600e+03 (which is 1,026) is read as the value of the
condition register, the binary equivalent is 0000 0100 0000 0010. This value indicates that bit B1 and
bit B10 are set.

For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to Status register set
contents (on page 15-1) and Enable and transition registers (on page 15-19). The individual bits of
this register are defined in the following table.
status.operation.instrument.SMUA
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status SMU A summary register is set.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
status.operation.instrument.TRIGGER_BLENDER
status.operation.instrument.TRGBLND
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status trigger blender summary
register is set.
Bit B10 decimal value: 1,024.
status.operation.instrument.TRIGGER_TIMER
status.operation.instrument.TRGTMR
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status trigger timer summary register
is set.
Bit B11 decimal value: 2,048
status.operation.instrument.DIGITAL_IO
status.operation.instrument.DIGIO
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status digital I/O summary register is
set.
Bit B12 decimal value: 4,096
status.operation.instrument.TSPLINK
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status TSP-Link summary register is
set.
Bit B13 decimal value: 8,192
status.operation.instrument.LAN
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status LAN summary register is set.
Bit B14 decimal value: 16,384
As an example, to set bit B1 of the operation status instrument summary enable register, set
status.operation.instrument.enable = status.operation.instrument.SMUA.
