:STATus Commands
The Operation Status register contains conditions which are part of the
instrument’s normal operation.
The following commands access the operation status group.
:STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
Reads the event register in the operation status group. It’s a read-only
register. Once a bit is set, it remains set until cleared by this command or
*CLS command. A query of the register returns a decimal value which
corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.
:STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
Reads the condition register in the operation status group. It’s a read-only
register and bits are not cleared when you read the register. A query of the
register returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted
sum of all bits set in the register.
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle[?]
Sets or queries the enable register in the operation status group. The
selected bits are then reported to the Status Byte. A *CLS will not clear the
enable register but it does clear all bits in the event register. To enable bits
in the enable register, you must write a decimal value which corresponds
to the binary-weighted sum of the bits you wish to enable in the register.
:STATus:OPERation:NTRansition[?]
Sets or queries the negative-transition register in the operation status
group. A negative transition filter allows an event to be reported when a
condition changes from true to false. Setting both positive/negative filters
true allows an event to be reported anytime the condition changes.
Clearing both filters disable event reporting. The contents of transition
filters are unchanged by *CLS and *RST.
:STATus:OPERation:PTRansition[?]
Set or queries the positive-transition register in the operation status
group. A positive transition filter allows an event to be reported when a
condition changes from false to true. Setting both positive/negative filters
true allows an event to be reported anytime the condition changes.
Clearing both filters disable event reporting. The contents of transition
filters are unchanged by *CLS and *RST.
