:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle

Syntax

:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle

Function Sets the bits in the questionable enable register. The NRf

value is converted to a binary number. The bits of the
register are set to match the bit values of the binary number.

Example

:STATUS:QUESTIONABLE:ENABLE 33

sets bit 0 and bit 5 of

the questionable enable register to 1.

:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle?

Syntax

:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle?

Function Returns the contents of the questionable event enable

Example

:STAT:QUES:ENAB 23;ENAB?

returns 23.

:STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENT]?

Syntax

:STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENT]?

Function Returns the contents of the questionable event register as an

integer that, when converted to a binary number, represents
the bit values of the register.

Example

:STAT:QUES:EVENT?

:STATus:QUEStionable:NTRansition

Syntax

:STATus:QUEStionable:NTRansition

Function Sets the bits of the questionable negative transition register.

The NRf value is converted to a binary number. The bits of
the register are set to match the bits of the binary number.

Example

:STAT:QUES:NTR 256

sets the bits of the questionable

negative transition register to 0000000011111111.
