Status Reporting
An overview of the oscilloscope's status reporting structure is shown in
Figure 4-1. The status reporting structure shows you how to monitor
specific events in the oscilloscope. Monitoring these events lets you
determine the status of an operation, the availability and reliability of
the measured data, and more.
• To monitor an event, first clear the event, then enable the event. All
of the events are cleared when you initialize the oscilloscope.
• To generate a service request (SRQ) interrupt to an external
computer, enable at least one bit in the Status Byte Register.
The Status Byte Register, the Standard Event Status Register group, and
the Output Queue are defined as the Standard Status Data Structure
Model in IEEE 488.2-1987. IEEE 488.2 defines data structures,
commands, and common bit definitions for status reporting. There are
also oscilloscope-defined structures and bits.
