Checking 525B Status

You have access to status registers, enable registers, and queues in the Calibrator
to indicate various conditions in the instrument as shown in Figure 4-5. Some
registers and queues are defined by the IEEE-488.2 standard. The rest are specific
to the Calibrator. In addition to the status registers, the Service Request (SRQ)
control line, and a 16-element buffer called the Error Queue provide status
information. Table 4-11 lists the status registers and gives the read/write
commands and associated mask registers.
