Figure 111: Questionable event status registers
Condition registers
As shown in the illustrations, all status register sets, except the standard event status register set,
have a condition register. A condition register is a real-time read-only register that is constantly
updated to reflect the present operating conditions of the instrument. For example, while a calculation
is being performed, Bit B9 (Calc) of the Operation Condition Register is set. When the calculation is
completed, Bit B9 clears.
The
:CONDition?
query commands in the STATus Subsystem are used to read the condition
registers (see
SCPI command reference
(on page 14-1) for details).
