Status Reporting
The HP 53150A, 53151A, and 53152A status registers conform to the
SCPI and IEEE 488.2 standards.
Figure 3-10 shows all of the status-register groups and queues in the
Counter. This is a high level diagram that does not show all the registers
that are contained in each group. It is intended as a guide to the bits used
in each of these register groups to monitor the Counter's status. Note that
a summary of the Standard Status Structure Registers (defined by IEEE
488.2-1987) is shown in addition to the Operation Status and
Questionable Data/Signal Register groups.
Refer to the section in this chapter titled “Programming the Counter for
Status Reporting” and the flowchart in Figure 3-14 for detailed
information on programming the status-reporting system.
