STATus:QUEStionable Registers
STATus :QUEStionable registers monitor the overall analyze r
condition . They are accessed with the :
STATus : OPERation
an d
:
STATus : QUEStionable
commands in the :
STATus
command
subsystem .
The STATus :QUEStionable registers also monitor the analyzer to see i f
there are any questionable events that occurred . These registers look
for anything that may cause an error or that may induce a faulty
measurement. Signs of a faulty measurement include the following :
• hardware problem s
• out of calibration situation s
• unusual signal s
NOTE All bits are summary bits from lower-level event registers . (For a
general diagram of the STATus :QUEStionable register, see Figure 2-1 3
on page 2-21 .)
