    DELTA ELEKTRONIKA BV PSC SERIES 14.2.4 *STB? The Read Status Byte Query reports the contents of the Status Byte Register. The register contains the summary status of all overlaying registers and status queues. When the Status Byte Register is read by a serial poll from the GPIB, the RQS bit is returned on bit position 6.

    PSC SERIES DELTA ELEKTRONIKA BV 14.2.10 DSC? The Device Status Condition register contains the power supply’s status, and returns a decimal value, which expressed in base 2, reflects the bit values of the Device Status. Execution of this query will not clear this register.
  • Page 24: Opc

    DELTA ELEKTRONIKA BV PSC SERIES 14.2.14 *OPC The Operation Complete Command allows for synchronization between a controller and several devices. It causes the instrument to set the Operation Complete Command -OPC- bit in the Standard Event Status Register to be set true when all selected pending operations have been finished. This implies that all device operations initiated by previous programming commands have been entirely completed or aborted.
