For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to Status register set
contents (on page E-1) and Enable and transition register s (on page E-19). The individual bits of this
register are defined in the following table.
Bit Value Description
B0*
status.measurement.instrument.smu
X
.VOLTAGE_LIMIT
status.measurement.instrument.smu
X
.VLMT
Set bit indicates that the
voltage limit was
exceeded.
Bit B0 decimal value: 1
B1*
status.measurement.instrument.smu
X
.CURRENT_LIMIT
status.measurement.instrument.smu
X
.ILMT
Set bit indicates that the
current limit was exceeded.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
B2-B6 Not used Not applicable.
B7
status.measurement.instrument.smu X .READING_OVERFLOW
status.measurement.instrument.smu
X
.ROF
Set bit indicates that an
overflow reading has been
detected.
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
B8
status.measurement.instrument.smu X .BUFFER_AVAILABLE
status.measurement.instrument.smu X .BAV
Set bit indicates that there
is at least one reading
stored in either or both of
the dedicated reading
buffers.
Bit B8 decimal value: 256
B9-B15 Not used Not applicable.
* This bit will be updated only when a measurement is taken or smu X .source.compliance is invoked.
As an example, to set bit B0 of the measurement event SMU X summary enable register, set
status.measurement.instrument.smua.enable =
status.measurement.instrument.smua.VLMT
.
In addition to the above constants, measurementRegister can be set to the decimal equivalent of
the bit to set. To set more than one bit of the register, set measurementRegister to the sum of
their decimal weights. For example, to set bits B1 and B8, set measurementRegister to 258
(which is the sum of 2 + 256).

Example
status.measurement.instrument.smua.enable =
status.measurement.instrument.smua.VLMT
Sets the VLMT bit of the
measurement event SMU A
summary enable register
using a constant.
