Remarks • These attributes are used to read or write to the operation status instrument summary
registers.
• Reading a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value
indicates which register bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit 0,
and the most significant bit is bit 15.
• For example, assume value 6 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent is
0000000000000110. This value indicates that bit B1 (SMUA) and bit B2 (SMUB) are set.
• The used bits of the operation status instrument summary registers are described as
follows:
• Bit B1, SMUA : Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status SMU A
summary register is set.
• Bit B2, SMUB : Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status SMU B
summary register is set.
• Bit B10, TRGBLND : Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status
trigger blender summary register is set (see
status.operation.instrument.trigger_blender.condition
).
• Bit B11, TRGTMR : Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status
trigger timer summary register is set (see
status.operation.instrument.trigger_timer.condition
).
• Bit B12, DIGIO : Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status digital
I/O summary register (see
status.operation.instrument.digio.condition
) is
set.
• Bit B13, TSPLINK : Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status
TSP-Link summary register is set (see
status.operation.instrument.tsplink.condition
).
• Bit B14, LAN : Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the operation status LAN
summary is set (see
status.operation.instrument.lan.condition
).
Details See Operation Event Registers in Appendix C .
Example Sets the SMUA bit of the operation status instrument summary enable register:
status.operation.instrument.enable = status.operation.instrument.SMUA
