:COMMunicate:OPSE
(Operation Pending Status Enable register)
Function
Sets the overlap commands that are subject to
*OPC
,
*OPC?
, and
*WAI
or queries the current
setting.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:OPSE <Register>
:COMMunicate:OPSE?
<Register> = 0 to 65535 (Operation
pending status enable register, see
the description of the :COMMunicate:
OVERlap command)
Response
<NR1>
Example
:COMMUNICATE:OPSE 65535
:COMMUNICATE:OPSE?
→
:COMMUNICATE:OPSE
8192
Description In the above example, all bits are set to “1” so
that all overlap commands are subject to
*OPC
,
*OPC?
, and
*WAI
. However, because the bits
that are fixed to “0” cannot be changed, only bit
13 shows a “1” when a query is made.
:COMMunicate:OPSR?
(Operation Pending Status Register)
Function
Queries the operation pending status register
value.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:OPSR?
Response
<NR1> (Operation pending status enable
register, see the description of the
:COMMunicate:OVERlap command)
Example
:COMMUNICATE:OPSR?
→
0
:COMMunicate:OVERlap
Function
Sets the commands that will operate as overlap
commands or queries the current setting.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:OVERlap <Register>
:COMMunicate:OVERlap?
<Register> = 0 to 65535 (Overlap enable
register, see the diagram below)
Response
<NR1>
Example
:COMMUNICATE:OVERLAP 65535
:COMMUNICATE:OVERLAP?
→
:COMMUNICATE:OVERLAP 8192
Description • In the above example, all bits are set to “1”
so that all overlap commands are enabled.
However, because the bits that are fixed to
“0” cannot be changed, only bit 13 shows a
“1” when a query is made.
• For the procedures regarding the use of the
“
:COMMunicate:OVERlap
” command for
synchronization, see page 10-7.
