Standard Event Status Register (Esr); Table 9-2. Standard Event Status Register - Ametek ASTDC60D1C-E00 Programming Manual

SCPI Status Implementation
The Protection Enable Register. Readable using the STAT:PROT:ENAB? query command. Writable using the STAT:PROT:ENAB <value>
command. Used to select what fault events could set a bit in the Fault Register. Certain faults can occur even if they are not enabled. In the
Protection Enable Register. This is because the Protection Enable Register merely filters which events are allowed to affect the Fault
Register, not whether those events can occur or not.
Protection Condition Register
–readable using Query Command
STAT:PROT:COND?
Fault events
which
must be
enabled by
the Protection
Enable Register
before they are
recorded in the
fault register.
Note: All the events in the protection condition register causes shutdown to the power supply, An exception to this rule involves the Constant Voltage
Operation, Constant Current Operation, and Constant Power Operation.

Standard Event Status Register (ESR)

9.2.2
Read the Standard Event Status Register (ESR) by issuing the *ESR? command. See for
the Standard Event Status Register bit details. Reading this register or issuing a *CLS
command will clear the ESR. Use the *ESE (Standard Event Status Enable Register) to
enable corresponding ESR bits to be summarized in the summary bit of the SCPI Status
byte. To configure the Power Supply to generate service requests based on the ESR,
both the Standard Event Status Enable Register and the Service Request Enable Register
must be programmed. See
Figure 9-2 and Section 11 SCPI Status Implementation for further information.
