The act of reading the contents of the register sets Bit 1 of
the Test Summary register.
Example:
>
STATUS:ALRM? Returns an integer indicating
the status of the Alarm
register.
12
A FAS Distant alarm and
MFAS (TS16) Distant alarm
are being received.
STATUS:ALRM_EN [<mask> | ?]
Alarm Enable command/query
The STATUS:ALRM_EN command is used to activate
the alarms indicated by a “1” in the mask. The mask is a
number that is the decimal equivalent of the binary number
in the register (where Bit 7 is the Most Significant Bit). To
enable a given alarm, specify a number that places a “1” in
that alarm’s bit position.
The STATUS:ALRM_EN? query requests the current
contents of the Alarm register. The value returned is the
bit weights of all the set bits at the time the byte was read.
The bits read include:
Bit 0 AIS
Bit 1 TS-16 AIS
Bit 2 FAS Distant
Bit 3 MFAS Distant
Bit 4 0
Bit 5 0
Bit 6 0
Bit 7 0
Example:
>
STATUS:ALRM_EN 4
Enables the FAS Distant
alarm (bit 2), since
