Status Monitoring
The product has two mandatory SCPI standard registers, STATus:OPERation and
STATus:QUEStionable, in addition to the IEEE488.2 standard registers.
■ Register basics
All SCPI registers have a standard architecture that uses events/filters. CONDition,
EVENt, and ENABle and optionally PTRansition and NTRansition can be used.
CONDition and EVENt are read-only registers working as status indicators. ENABle,
PTRansition and NTRansition are read-write registers working as event and summary
filters.
■ STATus:OPERation
The OPERation Status register is used to record events and notifications that occur
during normal operations.
To check whether CV output is being performed, check the CV bit (bit 8) of the STA-
Tus:OPERation register.
STATus:OPERation? ʻ Checks whether the CV bit is set.
■ STATus:QUEStionable
The QUEStionable Status register is used to record events and notifications that oc-
cur during abnormal operations.
To check whether a protection function has been activated, check the OV bit (bit 0) of
the STATus:QUEStionable register.
STATus:QUEStionable?
ʻ
Checks whether the OV bit is set.
■ Monitoring status for single-phase three-wire output and three-phase
output
STATus:OPERation
The OPERation Status register is used to record events and notifications that occur
during normal operations.
To check whether CV output is being performed, check the CV bit (bit 8) of the STATu
s:OPERation:INSTrument:ISUMmary{1|2|3} subregister.
