Registers and Queues which Affect the Status Byte
Registers which affect each bit of the status byte are shown
below.
Standard event register :Sets bit 5 (ESB) of status byte to “1” or “0”.
Output queue :Sets bit 4 (MAV) of status byte to “1” or “0”.
Extended event register : Sets bit 3 (EES) of status byte to “1” or “0”.
Error queue :Sets bit 2 (EAV) of status byte to “1” or “0”.
Enable Registers
Registers which mask a bit so that the bit does not affect the
status byte, even if the bit is set to “
1 ”, are shown below.
Status byte :Masks bits using the service request enable register.
Standard event register : Masks bits using the standard event enable register.
Extended event register : Masks bits using the extended event enable register.
Writing/Reading from Registers
The
*ESE command is used to set bits in the standard event
enable register to “
1 ” or “ 0 ”, and the *ESR? query is used to
check whether bits in that register are set to “
1 ” or “ 0 ”. For
details of these commands, refer to Appendix 2.3.
2.4.2 Status Byte
Overview of Status Byte
76ESB MAV EES EAV 1 0
RQS
MSS
Bits 0, 1 and 7
Not used (always “
0 ”)
Bit 2 EAV (Error Available)
Set to “ 1 ” when the error queue is not empty, i.e. when an
error occurs. For details, refer to page App2-39.
Bit 3 EES (Extended Event Summary Bit)
Set to “
1 ” when a logical AND of the extended event register
and the corresponding enable register is “1”, i.e. when an
event takes place in the instrument. Refer to page App2-38.
Bit 4 MAV (Message Available)
Set to “
1 ” when the output queue is not empty, i.e. when there
is data which is to be output when an inquiry is made. Refer to
page App2-39.
Bit 5 ESB (Event Summary Bit)
Set to “
1 ” when a logical AND of the standard event register
and the corresponding enable register is “
1 ”, i.e. when an
event takes place in the instrument. Refer to page App2-37.
Bit 6 RQS (Request Status)/MSS (Master Summary
Status )
MSS is set to “
1 ” when a logical AND of the status byte
(except for bit 6) and the service request enable register is not
“
0 ”, i.e. when the instrument is requesting service from the
controller.
RQS is set to “
1 ” when MSS changes from “ 0 ” to “ 1 ”, and is
cleared when a serial poll is performed or when MSS changes
to “
0 ”.
Bit Masking
To mask a bit in the status byte so that it does not cause an
SRQ, set the corresponding bit of the service request enable
register to “
0 ”.
For example, to mask bit 2 (EAV) so that no service will be
requested, even if an error occurs, set bit 2 of the service
request enable register to “
0 ”. This can be done using the *SRE
command. To query whether each bit of the service request
enable register is “
1 ” or “ 0 ”, use *SRE? . For details of the *SRE
command, refer to App. 2.3.
