Device Status Register Sets - Agilent Technologies N1911A Programming Manual

Device Status Register Sets

The status registers contain information which give device status
information. The contents of the individual registers of these register sets
may be accessed by appending the commands listed in
Commands".
The following command descriptions detail the SCPI register you require
to control but do not detail the register set commands.
The one device status register set is:
STATus:DEVice:
The following bits in these registers are used by the power meter:
The Channel A and B sensor connected bits (bits 1 and 2), when queried
with the STATus:DEVice:CONDition? query are set to:
• 1, when a power sensor is connected
• 0, when no power sensor is connected
The Channel A and B sensor connected bits (bits 1 and 2), when queried
with the STATus:DEVice:EVENt? query indicate whether a power sensor
has been connected or disconnected depending on the state of the
corresponding bits of STATus:DEVice:NTRansition and
STATus:DEVice:PTRansition. If the corresponding bit in:
• STATus:DEVice:NTRansition is 1, then STATus:DEVice:EVENt? is
