Details
Although the status logical instrument reset affects these attributes, a system reset does not.
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 decimal value, but are returned as a decimal 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 129) is read as the value of the
condition register, the binary equivalent is
10000001
. This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B7 are set.

Assigning a value to this attribute enables one or more status events. When an enabled status event occurs, a
summary bit is set in the appropriate system summary register. The register and bit that is set depends on the
TSP-Link node number assigned to this instrument. The individual bits of the status byte condition register can
be set to the following described values (for example, to set the enable bit to B0 of the system summary status
register set 3, set
status.system3.enable = status.system3.EXT
):

In addition to the above constants,
enableRegister
can be set to the decimal 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 B11 and B14, set
enableRegister
to 18,432 (which is the sum of 2048 + 16,384).
