Usage
enableRegister = status.system5.condition
enableRegister = status.system5.enable
enableRegister = status.system5.event
enableRegister = status.system5.ntr
enableRegister = status.system5.ptr
status.system5.enable = enableRegister
status.system5.ntr = enableRegister
status.system5.ptr = enableRegister
enableRegister
The system summary 5 register's status. A zero (0) indicates no bits set; other
values indicate various bit settings
Details
In an expanded system (TSP-Link), these attributes are used to read or write to the system summary registers.
They are set using a constant or a numeric value, but are returned as a numeric value. The binary equivalent of
the value indicates which register bits are set. In the binary equivalent, the least significant bit is bit B0, and the
most significant bit is bit B15. For example, if a value of
1.02
(which is 130) is read as the value of the
condition register, the binary equivalent is 0000 0000 1000 0010. This value indicates that bit B1 and bit B7 are
set.

For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to
Status register sets (on page E-
2) and Enable and transition registers (on page E-18). The individual bits of this register have the following
meanings:
Bit Value Description
B0 Not used Not applicable
B1
status.system5.NODE57
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
B2
status.system5.NODE58
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
B3
status.system5.NODE59
Bit B3 decimal value: 8
B4
status.system5.NODE60
Bit B4 decimal value: 16
B5
status.system5.NODE61
Bit B5 decimal value: 32
B6
status.system5.NODE62
Bit B6 decimal value: 64
B7
status.system5.NODE63
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
B8
status.system5.NODE64
Bit B8 decimal value: 256
B9-B15 Not used Not applicable
As an example, to set bit B1 of the system summary 5 enable register, set
status.system5.enable =
status.system5.NODE57
.
In addition to the above constants,
enableRegister
can be set to the numeric equivalent of the bit to set. To
set more than one bit of the register, set
enableRegister
to the sum of their decimal weights. For example, to
set bits B1 and B4, set
enableRegister
to 18 (which is the sum of 2 + 16).
