There are two sets of registers that individual status conditions must pass
through before that condition can be recorded in a group's Event Register.
These are the Transition Filter Registers and the Enable Registers. They
provide selectivity in recording and reporting module status conditions.
Figure 4-6 shows that the Condition Register outputs are routed to the input
of the Negative Transition and Positive Transition Filter Registers. For
space reasons they are shown together but are controlled by individual SCPI
commands. Table 4-5 is the truth table for the Transition Filter Registers.

The power-on default condition is: all Positive Transition Filter Register
bits set to one and all Negative Transition Filter Register bits set to 0. This
applies to both the Operation and Questionable Data Groups.
Questionable Data Group Examples
If you only wanted the " FIFO overflowed" condition to be reported by the
QUE bit (bit 3) of the Status byte, you would execute:
STAT:QUES:ENAB 1024
If you wanted the " FIFO overflowed" and " setup changed" conditions to
be reported you would execute:
STAT:QUES:ENAB 9216
Operation Status Group Examples
If you only wanted the " FIFO half full" condition to be reported by the
OPR bit (bit 7) of the Status byte, you would execute:
STAT:OPER:ENAB 1024
