Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the questionable status unstable output 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 15-1) and Enable and transition registers (on page 15-19). The individual bits of
this register are defined in the following table.
status.questionable.unstable_output.SMUA
Set bit indicates that an unstable output condition was detected on SMU A.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
Binary value: 0000 0010
As an example, to set bit B1 of the questionable status unstable output summary enable register, set
status.questionable.instrument.enable = status.questionable.instrument.SMUA.
In addition to the above constant, questionableRegister can be set to the decimal value of the
bit to set.
Example
status.questionable.unstable_output.enable =
status.questionable.unstable_output.SMUA
Uses the constant to set the SMU A bit in the questionable status unstable output summary enable register bit.

status.questionable.* (on page 11-316)
status.request_enable
This attribute stores the service request (SRQ) enable register.
Usage
requestSRQEnableRegister = status.request_enable
status.request_enable = requestSRQEnableRegister
The status of the service request (SRQ) enable register; a zero
(0) indicates no bits set (also send 0 to clear all bits); other values
indicate various bit settings
