Chapter 3 Programming Your Universal Counter for Remote Operation
Status Reporting
3-32 Programming Guide
Note that this is the only bit in the Operation Status Register which is not
representing a condition. Therefore, the transition filters have no effect on
this bit.
The Counter does not monitor the condition indicating whether the last
measurement was in or out of limit. Hence, the In Limit Event bit does
NOT represent the transition from an “out of limit measurement” to “in
limit measurement.”
• Bits 11–15 are not used.
Questionable Data/Signal Status Register Group
The Questionable Data/Signal Status Register Group monitors
SCPI-defined conditions.
Table 3-8 lists the Questionable Data/Signal Status Register bits and briefly
describes each bit.
