STATUS QUERY ST
-------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Queries the error status of the ScopeMeter.
This is a 16-bit word, presented as an integer value,
where each bit represents the Boolean value of a related
error event. After the reply or after a RI (Reset
Instrument) command, the value is reset to zero.
A complete description of the status word is given in
Appendix B.
Command Syntax:
ST<cr>
Response Syntax:
<acknowledge><cr>[<status>
where,
<status> = integer value 0 to 32767
Example:
The following example program sends a wrong command to the
ScopeMeter to test the Acknowledge subroutine and to check
the status returned from the ST query.
The acknowledge subroutine contains a GOSUB Status.display
to input the status data from the ScopeMeter when the
acknowledge response is non-zero (ACK <> 0).
