STATus Subsystem

STATus Subsystem
The STATus subsystem controls the SCPI-defined status-reporting
structures.

Operation Condition Query

:STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the
Status Operation Condition register.
The data in this register is continuously updated and reflects the
NOTE
current conditions.

Operation Enable

:STATus:OPERation:ENABle<number>|<non-decimal numeric>
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
This command determines which bits in the Operation Condition
Register will set bits in the Operation Event register, which also sets
the Operation Status Summary bit (bit 7) in the Status Byte Register.
The variable <number> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you
want to enable.
Preset sets all bits in this enable register to 0. To have any Operation
NOTE
Events reported to the Status Byte Register, 1 or more bits must be set
to 1.

Operation Event Query

:STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the
Operation Event register.
The register requires that the equivalent PTR or NTR filters be set
NOTE
before a condition register bit can set a bit in the event register.
The data in this register is latched until it is queried. Once queried, the
data is cleared.
