Page 816 ® Remote control - status reporting system R&S RTA4000 Structure of a SCPI status register B Remote control - status reporting system The status reporting system stores all information on the current operating state of the instrument, and on errors which have occurred. This information is stored in the status registers and in the error queue.
Page 817 ® Remote control - status reporting system R&S RTA4000 Hierarchy of status registers – PTR bit =1: the EVENt bit is set. – PTR bit =0: the EVENt bit is not set. This part can be written into and read as required. Its contents are not affected by reading.

The STB pro- vides a rough overview of the instrument status, collecting the information of the lower-level registers.
Page 819 ® Remote control - status reporting system R&S RTA4000 Contents of the status registers The output buffer contains the messages the instrument returns to the controller.
