SCPI Status System
messages in the output buffers will clear the appropriate “Message Available”
bit. The bit definitions for the Status Byte register are defined in Table 4-1.
Bit 2 of the Status Byte register, indicating a quench condition, remains set
until the quench condition is cleared via the front panel or by remote
command. Bits 3 and 4 remain set until all data has been read from the
respective output buffer.
The Status Byte condition register is cleared when:
•
A
*CLS
command is executed.
• The Standard Event register is read (only bit 5 of the Status Byte
register is cleared).
• The indicated condition no longer exists.
The Status Byte enable register is cleared when:
• The
*SRE 0
command is executed.
•
The power is turned off and then back on, and the Model 430
Programmer was configured for
*PSC 1
(power-on status clear).
The enable register setting is persistent if the Model 430
Programmer is configured for
*PSC 0
(no status clear on power-
on).
