Root Level Commands
:STATus?
Query
:STATus? {CHANnel<N> | FUNCtion<F> | HISTogram | WMEMory<N> | CLOCk
| MTRend | MSPectrum | EQUalized | BUS<N> | DIGital<M> | POD<L>}
The :STATus? query shows whether the specified channel, function,
wmemory, histogram, measurement trend, measurement spectrum, or
equalized waveform is on or off. A return value of 1 means on and a
return value of 0 means off.
MTRend and MSPectrum sources are only available if the oscilloscope has
the EZJIT option installed and the feature is enabled.
The CLOCk source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High Speed
Serial option installed and the feature is enabled.
The EQUalized source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High
Speed Serial option and the Serial Data Equalization option installed and
the features are enabled. This command uses the Feed- Forward Equalized
(FFE) signal as the source.
POD<L> refers to the two digital channel pods - one that includes all of
the activated digital channels in the D0- D7 range and the other that
includes all of the activated digital channels in the D8- D15 range.
<N>
CHANnel<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
WMEMory<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
<F>
FUNCtion<F> is an integer, 1- 16.
<M> An integer, 0- 15.
Returned Format
[:STATus] {0 | 1}<NL>
Example This example returns and prints the current status of channel 1.
myScope.WriteString ":STATus? CHANnel1"
