Bit
Value
status.standard.OPERATION_COMPLETE
B0
status.standard.OPC
Set bit indicates that all pending selected instrument operations are completed and the instrument
is ready to accept new commands. The bit is set in response to an *OPC command. The opc()
function can be used in place of the *OPC command.
Bit B0 decimal value: 1
Not used
B1
status.standard.QUERY_ERROR
B2
status.standard.QYE
Set bit indicates that you attempted to read data from an empty Output Queue.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
status.standard.DEVICE_DEPENDENT_ERROR
B3
status.standard.DDE
Set bit indicates that an instrument operation did not execute properly due to some internal
condition.
Bit B3 decimal value: 8
status.standard.EXECUTION_ERROR
B4
status.standard.EXE
Set bit indicates that the instrument detected an error while trying to execute a command.
Bit B4 decimal value: 16
status.standard.COMMAND_ERROR
B5
status.standard.CME
Set bit indicates that a command error has occurred. Command errors include:
IEEE Std 488.2 syntax error: Instrument received a message that does not follow the defined
syntax of the IEEE Std 488.2 standard.
Semantic error: Instrument received a command that was misspelled or received an optional
IEEE Std 488.2 command that is not implemented.
GET error: The instrument received a Group Execute Trigger (GET) inside a program message.
Bit B5 decimal value: 32
status.standard.USER_REQUEST
B6
status.standard.URQ
Set bit indicates that the LOCAL key on the instrument front panel was pressed.
Bit B6 decimal value: 64
status.standard.POWER_ON
B7
status.standard.PON
Set bit indicates that the instrument has been turned off and turned back on since the last time
this register has been read.
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
Not used
B8 to B15
As an example, to set bit B0 of the standard event status enable register, set
status.standard.enable = status.standard.OPC.
In addition to the above constants, standardRegister can be set to the numeric equivalent of the
bit to set. To set more than one bit of the register, set standardRegister to the sum of their
decimal weights. For example, to set bits B0 and B4, set standardRegister to 17 (which is the
sum of 1 + 16).
