* = condition, enable, event, ntr or ptr
Attribute Measurement event status register set.
Reads condition, enable, event, NTR and PTR registers:
Usage
measreg = status.measurement.condition
measreg = status.measurement.current_limit.enable
measreg = status.measurement.current_limit.event
measreg = status.measurement.current_limit.ntr
measreg = status.measurement.current_limit.ptr
Writes to enable, NTR and PTR registers:
status.measurement.enable = measreg
status.measurement.ntr = measreg
status.measurement.ptr = measreg
Set measreg to one of the following values:
0
status.measurement.VOLTAGE_LIMIT
status.measurement.VLMT
status.measurement.CURRENT_LIMIT
status.measurement.ILMT
status.measurement.READING_OVERFLOW
status.measurement.ROF
status.measurement.BUFFER_AVAILABLE

status.measurement.INST
measreg
To set bit B0 (VLMT), set
To set bit B1 (ILMT), set
To set bit B8 (BAV), set
To set more than one bit of the register, set measreg to the sum of their decimal weights.
For example, to set bits B0 and B8, set measreg to 257 (1 + 256).
Remarks • This attribute is used to read or write to the measurement registers.
• Reading a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value
indicates which register bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit 0,
and the most significant bit is bit 15.
• For example, assume value 257 is returned for the register. The binary equivalent is
0000000100000001. This value indicates that bit B1(VLMT) and bit B8 (BAV) are set.
• The used bits of the measurement registers are described as follows:
• Bit B0, VLMT – Set bit indicates that the voltage limit was exceeded. This bit will
be updated only when a measurement is taken or
invoked.
Bit B1, ILMT – Set bit indicates that the current limit was exceeded. This bit will be
