Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the measurement event current limit summary registers.
Reading a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates which
register bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit B0, and the most significant bit
is bit B15.
For example, assume value 6 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent is
0000 0000 0000 0110. This value indicates that bit B1 (SMUA) and bit B2 (SMUB) are set.
For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to
contents (on page 10-1) and
this register are defined in the following table.
Bit Value
Not used
B0
status.measurement.current_limit.SMUA
B1
status.measurement.current_limit.SMUB
B2
Not used
B3 to B15
As an example, to set bit B1 of the measurement event current limit summary enable register, set
status.measurement.current_limit.enable =
status.measurement.current_limit.SMUA.
In addition to the above constants, measurementRegister can be set to the decimal equivalent of
the bit to set. To set more than one bit of the register, set measurementRegister to the sum of
their decimal weights. For example, to set bits B1 and B2, set measurementRegister to 6 (which is
the sum of 2 + 4).
Example
status.measurement.current_limit.enable = status.measurement.current_limit.SMUA
Sets the SMUA bit of the Measurement Event Current Limit Summary Enable Register.
