STATus Subsystem
STATus Subsystem
The STATus subsystem controls the SCPI-defined status-reporting structures.
Operation Condition Query
:STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the Status Operation
Condition register.
NOTE The data in this register is continuously updated and reflects the current conditions.
Operation Enable
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle<integer>
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
This command determines which bits in the Operation Condition Register will set
bits in the Operation Event register, which also sets the Operation Status Summary
bit (bit 7) in the Status Byte Register. The variable <integer> is the sum of the
decimal values of the bits you want to enable.
NOTE Preset sets all bits in this enable register to 0. To have any Operation Events
reported to the Status Byte Register, 1 or more bits must be set to 1.
Factory Preset
and *RST: 0
Range: Integer, 0 to 32767
Operation Event Query
:STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the Operation Event
register.
NOTE The register requires that the equivalent PTR or NTR filters be set before a
condition register bit can set a bit in the event register.
The data in this register is latched until it is queried. Once queried, the data is
cleared.
