Power Meter Remote Operation
Device Status Register
The device status register set contains bits which give device dependent
information.
The following bits in these registers are used by the power meter:

EVENts Causing Bit Changes
– SET: When a power sensor is connected to the Channel A input.
– CLEARED: When no power sensor is connected to the Channel A input.
– SET: When a power sensor is connected to the Channel B input.
– CLEARED: When no power sensor is connected to the Channel B input.
– SET: If the power sensor EEPROM on Channel A has failed.
– CLEARED: In every other condition.
– SET: If the power sensor EEPROM on Channel B has failed.
– CLEARED: In every other condition.
This is an event, and DOES NOT set the condition register. The bit is set in the event
register which is cleared when read. Note that the transition registers are of no use
for this bit.
