DCAS
PARITY : Parity Error. Set by serial parity mismatch on incoming data
byte.
FRAME : Framing Error. Set when an incoming serial data byte is missing
the STOP bit.
NOISE : Noise Error. Set when an incoming serial data byte does not
present a steady logic level during each asynchronous bit-
period window.
HWOVRN : Hardware Overrun. Set when an incoming serial data byte is
lost due to internal processor latency. Causes the Input Bu
ff
er
to be flushed, and resets the command parser.
OVR : Input Bu
ff
er Overrun. Set when the Input Bu
ff
er is overrun
by incoming data. Causes the Input Bu
ff
er to be flushed, and
resets the command parser.
RTSH : Undefined for the SIM960. Command Error. Indicates a parser-
detected error.
CTSH : Undefined for the SIM960.
DCAS : Device Clear. Indicates the SIM960 received the Device Clear
signal (an RS-232
break
). Clears the Input Bu
ff
er and Output
Queue, and resets the command parser.
3.5.6
Communication Error Status Enable (CESE)
The CESE acts as a bitwise AND with the CESR register to produce
the single bit CESB message in the Status Byte Register (SB). It can
be set and queried with the
CESE(?)
command.
This register is cleared at power-on.
3.5.7
Instrument Status (INCR)
The Instrument Condition Register consists of 5 single-bit monitors
of condition events within the SIM960. Bits in the INCR reflect the
real-time values of their corresponding signals. Reading the entire
register, or individual bits within it, does not a
ff
ect the value of INCR.
