** Most significant bit
The returned value can indicate one or more status events occurred.
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.MEASUREMENT_SUMMARY_BIT
status.MSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled event in the Measurement Event Register
has occurred.
Bit B0 decimal value: 1
status.SYSTEM_SUMMARY_BIT
status.SSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled event in the System Summary Register has occurred.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
status.ERROR_AVAILABLE
status.EAV
Set summary bit indicates that an error or status message is present in the error queue.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
status.QUESTIONABLE_SUMMARY_BIT
status.QSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled event in the Questionable Status Register
has occurred.
Bit B3 decimal value: 8
status.MESSAGE_AVAILABLE
status.MAV
Set summary bit indicates that a response message is present in the output queue.
Bit B4 decimal value: 16
status.EVENT_SUMMARY_BIT
status.ESB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled event in the Standard Event Status Register
has occurred.
Bit B5 decimal value: 32
status.OPERATION_SUMMARY_BIT
status.OSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled event in the Operation Status Register has occurred.
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
In addition to the above constants, requestEventRegister can be set to the decimal value of the
bits set. When more than one bit of the register is set, requestEventRegister contains the sum of
their decimal values. For example, if 129 is returned, bits B0 and B7 are set (1 + 128).
