mand is received by the 1560 if the CME mask bit is set in the Event Status En-
able Register and the ESB mask bit is set in the Service Request Enable
Register and no other error occurred.
Example command: *STB?
Example response: 100
*TST?
The purpose of this query command is to perform a self-test and report any er-
rors that are found. The reponse is 0 if no errors are found. Currently, self-test
can only be performed on power up so this command always returns 0.
*WAI
The purpose of this command is to cause a device to wait until all pending
command operations (overlapped commands) are completed before executing
any subsequent commands. Since all commands are sequential for this instru-
ment this command is unnecessary.
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
This query command reads the Operation Status Condition Register. Reading
this register does not affect it. The value returned indicates the condition of
each of the eight bits of the register by adding the binary-weighted values of
each bit. The meaning of each bit, when set (1), is as follows where 0 is the
least significant and 7 is the most significant:
0-3 No function, always 0.
4
Measuring. Acquisition of a new measurement is in process.
5-15No function, always 0.
The response in the following example would be given if the measure mode is
ON or COUNT.
Example command: STAT:OPER:COND?
Example response: 16
STATus:OPERation:ENABle <numeric_value>
This command sets the Operation Status Enable Register. This register deter-
mines which event bits of the Operation Status Event Register affect the Opera-
tion Status Bit (OSB, bit 7) of the Status Byte Register. If any bit in the
Operation Status Event Register is set (1) while its corresponding mask bit in
the Operation Status Enable Register is set, the Operation Status Bit in the Sta-
tus Byte Register will be set. The value of the <numeric_value> parameter is a
number from 0 to 65535 that is the sum of the binary-weighted values of each
mask bit. The Operation Status Event Register is described in Section
6.5.10.15. The following example causes the OSB bit in the Status Byte Regis-
ter to be set when a new measurement has been acquired.
