4.3.4 Status Subsystem
This subsystem programs the power supply status registers. The power supply has three groups
of status registers: Operation, Questionable, and Standard Event. The Operation and
Questionable Condition registers monitor the power supply’s operation and alarm status. The
Standard Event group is programmed with Standard Commands as described in Section 4.5, IEEE
488 Event Processing.
4.3.4.1 Operation Register
This query returns the value of the Operation Register which is a read-only register that holds the
real-time (unlatched) condition of the operational status of the power supply. The bit
configuration of the Operation Register is shown in Table 4.1.
