Status Reporting

Status Reporting
Status reporting is used to monitor the power meter to determine when
events have occurred. Status reporting is accomplished by configuring and
reading status registers.
The power meter has the following main registers:
• Status Register
• Standard Event Register
• Operation Status Register
• Questionable Status Register
• Device Status Register
A number of other registers exist "behind" these and are described later in
this chapter.
Status and Standard Event registers are read using the IEEE-488.2
common commands.
Operation and Questionable Status registers are read using the SCPI
STATus command subsystem.
