SCPI status register includes: STATus:OPERation, STATus:QUEStionable registers (SCPI
definition),
STATus:TRACe and STATus: EXTension registers (SCPI definition), which contain instrument specific
operation information. All SCPI status registers have the same internal structure (please refer to section
2.1.5.2 "SCPI Status Register Structure" in the remote control manual).
3) IST, PPE
Similar to SRQ, as an individual bit of IST symbol ("Individual STatus"), it is composed of all the statuses
of the instrument. Related parallel poll enable register (PPE) determines which bits of the STB act on the
IST symbol.
4) Output buffer
The message returned by the instrument to the controller is stored. It does not belong to the status report
system, but determines the MAV position value of the STB.
Please refer to the section "2.1.5 Status Reporting System" in the program control manual for the
specific description of the above registers.
Please refer to the Fig.6.1 for hierarchical structure of status register.
SRE, ESE
The service request enabling register (SRE) can be used for STB enabling. Similarly, the ESE can be
used for ESR enabling.
