Device Status Register Set

The device status register set contains the information which provides the device
status information. The contents of the individual registers of this register set can
be accessed by appending the commands listed in
Commands.
The following descriptions detail the SCPI register you require to control and some
examples on the register set commands.
The one device status register set is:
STATus:DEVice
The following bits in this register are used by the 8990B:
Bit Weight/Decimal value
0 1
1 2
2 4
3 8
4 16
5 to 15 –
The channel 1 sensor connected bit (bit 1) or the channel 4 sensor connected bit
(bit 2), when queried by STATus:DEVice:CONDition?, is set to:
– 1, when a peak power sensor is connected.
– 0, when no peak power sensor is connected.
The channel 1 sensor connected bit (bit 1) or the channel 4 sensor connected bit (bit 2),
when queried by STATus:DEVice[:EVENt]?, indicates whether a peak power sensor has
been connected or disconnected depending on the state of the corresponding bits of
STATus:DEVice:NTRansition and STATus:DEVice:PTRansition.
