The Transition register is not used in the Product. The state of the other three
registers is accessed with the STATus commands as shown in Table 10.

Command
Description
STATus
:OPERation
:CONDition?
Returns the contents of the Operation
Condition register. The only
OPERational:CONDition sub-register
implemented in the Product is that of Bit 4
“MEASuring”. This sub register is false if the
Trigger system is in the Idle state; true if the
trigger system is initiated.
[:EVENt]?
Set true if the event has occurred. Only used in
bits 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11.
:ENABle <nrf
>
Set which OPERational register bits cause the
OPER bit (7) in the Status byte to be set true.
Nrf
is the sum of bit values to be set; for
example:
nrf
= 80 set bits 4 and 6 to enabled.
Min= 0, Max = 32768
:ENABle?
Returns the sum of the bit values of the
enabled bits.
:PRESet
Sets Enable bits both OPERational and
QUEStionable registers to False.
:QUEStionable
:CONDition?
The Condition sub register is not used in the
Product
[:EVENt]?
Set true if the event has occurred. Not used in
bits 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15
:ENABle <
nrf>
Set which QUEStionable register bits cause the
QUES bit (3) in the Status byte to be set true.
Nrf
is the sum of bit values to be set; for
example:
nrf
= 2056 set bits 3 (8) and 11 (2048)
to enabled. Min = 0, Max = 32768
:ENABle?
Returns the sum of the bit values of the
enabled bits
