measurementRegister
The status of the measurement event instrument summary register; a zero (0)
indicates no bits set (also send 0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various
bit settings
Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the measurement event 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 B0, and the most significant bit is bit B15. For example,
assume the value 6 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent is 0000 0000 0000 0110. This value
indicates that bit B1 (SMUA) and bit B2 (SMUB) are set.
For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to
Status register set contents
(on
page E-1) and
Enable and transition registers
(on page E-19). The individual bits of this register are defined in
the following table.
Bit
Value
Description
B0
Not used
Not applicable.
B1
status.measurement.instrument.SMUA
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits of
the measurement event SMU A summary
register is set.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
Binary value: 0000 0010
B2
status.measurement.instrument.SMUB
This bit is only available on Models
2602B/2604B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2636B. Set
bit indicates one or more enabled bits of the
measurement event SMU B summary register
is set.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
Binary value: 0000 0100
B3-B15
Not used
Not applicable.
As an example, to set bit B1 of the measurement event instrument summary enable register, set
status.measurement.instrument.enable = status.measurement.instrument.SMUA
.
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 B2, set
measurementRegister
to 6 (which is the sum of 2 + 4).
Example
status.measurement.instrument.enable =
status.measurement.instrument.SMUA
Sets the SMU A bit of the
measurement event instrument
summary enable register using a
constant.
