Usage
9-188
Measurement event status register set.
To read condition, enable, event, NTR and PTR registers:
measreg = status.measurement.condition
measreg = status.measurement.enable
measreg = status.measurement.event
measreg = status.measurement.ntr
measreg = status.measurement.ptr
To write to enable, NTR, and PTR registers:
status.measurement.enable = measreg
status.measurement.ntr = measreg
status.measurement.ptr = measreg
To set measreg to one of the following values:

To clears all bits: 0

To set ROF bit (B7):
status.measurement.READING_OVERFLOW
- or -
status.measurement.ROF

To set BAV bit (B8):
status.measurement.BUFFER_AVAILABLE
- or -
status.measurement.BAV

To set INST bit (B13):
status.measurement.INSTRUMENT_SUMMARY
- or -
status.measurement.INST
measreg can also be set to the decimal weight of the bit to be set. For example:

To set bit B8 (BAV), set measreg to 256 (2

To set more than one bit of the register, set measreg to the sum of their decimal
weights. For example, to set bits B7 and B8, set measreg to 384 (128 + 256).
