– 0, when no power sensor is connected
The Channel A and B sensor connected bits (bits 1 and 2), when queried with the
STATus:DEVice:EVENt? query indicate whether a power sensor has been
connected or disconnected depending on the state of the corresponding bits of
STATus:DEVice:NTRansition and STATus:DEVice:PTRansition. If the
