Returns the operating state of the specified instrument.
int getstatus(int inst_id, long parameter, double *result);
The instrument identifier (ID), such as SMU1, SMU2, VPU1, VPU2.
inst_id
The parameter of query.
parameter
The data returned from the instrument. getstatus returns one
result
item.
Valid errors:
The UT_INVLDPRM invalid parameter error is returned from getstatus. The status
item parameter is illegal for this device. The requested status code is invalid for
selected device.
A list of supported getstatus query parameters for an SMU and a pulse generator
card (VPU) are provided in
