Status Registers
Use Status Registers to Determine the State of Analyzer Events and Conditions

STATus:OPERation Condition Register

The STATus:OPERation condition register continuously monitors the
hardware and firmware status of the analyzer, and is read-only. To
query the register, send the :STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
command. The response will be the decimal sum of the bits that are set
to 1. For example, if bit number 9 and bit number 3 are set to 1, the
decimal sum of the 2 bits is 512 plus 8. So the decimal value 520 is
returned.
The transition filter specifies which types of bit state changes in the
condition register will set corresponding bits in the event register. The
changes may be positive (from 0 to 1) or negative (from 1 to 0). Send the
:STATus:OPERation:NTRansition <num> (negative transition)
command or the :STATus:OPERation:PTRansition <num> (positive
transition) command (where <num> is the sum of the decimal values of
the bits you want to enable).
The STATus:OPERation event register latches transition events from
the condition register as specified by the transition filters. Event
registers are destructive read-only data. Reading data from an event
register will clear the content of that register. To query the event
register, send the :STATus:OPERation:[:EVENt]? command.
The STATus:OPERation condition register contains the following bits:
