Page 243 Status and Events...
Page 245: Status And Events
Status and Events The oscilloscope provides a status and event reporting system for the GPIB, RS-232, and USB interfaces. This system informs you of certain signiﬁcant events that occur within the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope status reporting system consists of ﬁve 8-bit registers and two queues.
Page 246 Status and Events Table 3-1: SESR bit functions Function 7 (MSB) Shows that the oscilloscope was powered on. Power On. On completion, the diagnostic self tests also set this bit. Indicates that an application event has User Request. occurred. *See note. Shows that an error occurred while Command Error.

Function Shows that output is available Message Available. in the Output Queue. ———— Not used. ———— Not used. ———— Not used. 1–0 Enable Registers DESER, ESER, and SRER allow you to select which events are reported to the Status Registers and the Event Queue.
Page 248: Queues
Status and Events Use the *SRE command to set the SRER. Use the *SRE? query to read the register. The RQS bit remains set to one until either the Status Byte Register is read with a Serial Poll or the MSS bit changes back to a zero. Figure 3-5: The Service Request Enable Register (SRER) *PSC Command The *PSC command controls the Enable Registers contents at power-on.
Page 249: Event Handling Sequence
Status and Events Event Queue The Event Queue stores detailed information on up to 20 events. If than 20 events stack up in the Event Queue, the 20th event is replaced by event code 350, "Queue Overﬂow." Read the Event Queue with the EVENT? query (which returns only the event number), with the EVMSG? query (which returns the event number and a text description of the event), or with the ALLEV? query (which returns all the event numbers with a description of the event).
Page 250 Status and Events Figure 3-6: Status and Event Handling Process When an event occurs, a signal is sent to the DESER (1). If that type of event is enabled in the DESER (that is, if the bit for that event type is set to 1), the appropriate bit in the SESR is set to one, and the event is recorded in the Event Queue (2).
Page 251: Synchronization Methods
Status and Events Synchronization Methods Overview Although most commands are completed almost immediately after being received by the oscilloscope, some commands start a process that requires time. For example, once a single sequence acquisition command is executed, depending upon the applied signals and trigger settings, it may take an extended period of time before the acquisition is complete.
Page 252 Status and Events /** Set up conditional acquisition **/ ACQUIRE:STATE OFF SELECT:CH1 ON HORIZONTAL:RECORDLENGTH 1000 ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE /** Acquire waveform data **/ ACQUIRE:STATE ON /** Set up the measurement parameters **/ MEASUREMENT:IMMED:TYPE AMPLITUDE MEASUREMENT: IMMED:SOURCE CH /** Take amplitude measurement **/ MEASUREMENT: MEAS1:VALUE? The acquisition of the waveform requires extended processing time.

Page 254 Status and Events many commands to the input buffer. The controller is still tied up though, and the repeated BUSY? query will result in bus trafﬁc. Using the *OPC Command If the corresponding status registers are enabled, the *OPC command sets the OPC bit in the Standard Event Status Register (SESR) when an operation is complete.
Page 255 Status and Events The same command sequence using the *OPC command for synchronization looks like this /* Set up conditional acquisition */ ACQUIRE:STATE OFF SELECT:CH1 ON ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE /* Enable the status registers */ DESE 1 *ESE 1 *SRE 32 /* Acquire waveform data */ ACQUIRE:STATE ON...
Page 256 Status and Events /* Take amplitude measurement */ MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE? This is the simplest approach. It requires no status handling or loops. However, you must set the controller time-out for longer than the acquisition operation. Messages The information contained in the topic tabs above covers all the programming interface messages the oscilloscope generates in response to commands and queries.

Programming Examples The following series of commands and queries illustrate many of the most common commands and techniques. To use these commands and queries over USB, you must use a program or routines that interface to the USBTMC driver on your PC. You can also use the PC Communications software that came on the CD with your oscilloscope to get the same data without having to write programs.
