The status of the operation status trigger timer trigger overrun
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 operation status trigger timer overrun 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 18 is read as the value of the condition register, the binary
equivalent is 0000 0000 0001 0010. This value indicates that bit B1 and bit B4 are set.
* Least significant bit
** Most significant bit
A set bit indicates the specified timer generated an action overrun because it was still processing a
delay from a previous trigger when a new trigger was received.
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.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR1
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR2
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR3
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR4
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR5
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR6
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR7
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR8
As an example, to set bit B1 of the operation status trigger timer trigger overrun enable register, set
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.enable =
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.trigger_overrun.TMR1.
In addition to the above constants, operationRegister 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 B4, set operationRegister to 18 (which is the
sum of 2 + 16).
