TG8000 remote commands
NTRansition al
lows a status to become true on a negative transition of the
event.
MAP reassigns
event reporting at the top level of the status hierarchy.
INSTrument. Both main nodes have this sub node that summarizes the
operationa
l and questionable condition of the instrument. Each bit in these
two registers represents a slot in the TG8000. The summation of each register
will feed into bit 13 of its respective parent register.
PRESet. All of the enable registers are set to TRUE so that they return to
power-up conditions.
QUEue.
QUEue:ENABle enables c ertain events or error conditions to be reported.
Values that are not explicitly specified are not reported. STATus:QUEue[:NEXT]

Due to the repetitiveness o f this subsystem, the details will be covered for the
nodes EVENt, CONDition, ENABle, PTRansition, NTRanstion, and MAP. The
syntax and examples do not include the full command. Refer to the Command
Tree to derive what commands would be appropriate. The following text then
descr
ibes each major b ranch within the STATus subsystem.
[:EVENt]?
Performs a destructive reading of the specific event status register. The
contents are cleared by reading or by *CLS.
:CONDition?
Performs a nondestructive reading of the specified condition register. Contents
are cleared as a result of *CLS.
:ENABle <numeric_value>
Sets the register that enables the individual bits within the Event Register,
which records event transition.
:ENABle?
Returns the current Event Register settings.
:PTRansition <numeric_value>
Sets the transition register for enabling events to set bits true during a positive
transition.
:PTRansition?
Returns the transition register for enabling events to set bits true during
a positive transition.
:NTRansition <numeric_value>
