Introduction
Status Byte
Another important feature of the III' 3324A is that you
can program it to interrupt the controller when certain
status/error conditions are met.
An 8-bit register, the Status Byte, contains the
instrument's
status.
In order for an interrupt to occur, it must be
programmed via the Service Request Enable Mask. To
see how to set the mask, see Service Request Enable.
At power-on the mask is reset to a value of 0.
The Status Byte Register reflects the status of the
instrument. The following diagram shows which bit of
the Status Byte is allocated to which interrupt condition:
