Register basics
p. 7-43
All SCPI registers have standard event/filter architecture, employing CONDition,
EVENt, ENABle, and optionally PTRansition and NTRansition. The CONDition
and EVENt are read-only registers working as status indicators, and the ENABle,
PTRansition and NTRansition are read-write registers working as event and
summary filters.
STATus:OPERation
p. 7-47
The STATus:OPERation register records events or signals that occur during normal
operation.
For example, to check if the PAT is being regulated in CV state, check the CV bit
(bit 8) on the STATus:OPERation register.

STATus:QUEStionable
p. 7-49
The STATus:QUEStionable register records events or signals that indicate abnormal
operation.
To check if the protection function is working, check the 0V bit (bit 0) on the
STATus: QUEStionable register.
