Clearing the Source Event Register
The source event register is cleared in the following
three cases.
• When the contents of the source event register is
read by the :STATus:SOURce:EVENt? command.
• When a *CLS command is received.
• When the instrument is power cycled.
16.3 Status Reports
Bit 7
SMP (Sampling Error)
Set to 1 when a sampling error (trigger is applied
before the completion of the source measure cycle)
occurs.
Bit 6
Not used (always 0)
Bit 5
RDY (Sweep Ready)
The bit in the condition register is set to 0 when sweep
mode is enabled, when the LIN/LOG sweep parameter
is changed, or while the program pattern file is being
loaded. It is set to 1 when the GS610 is ready to
receive sweep start. The bit in the event register is set
to 1 when the condition register bit changes from 0 to
1.
Bit 4
Not used (always 0)
Bit 3
Not used (always 0)
Bit 2 STO (Store Complete)
Set to 1 when the storage operation completes.
Bit 1 TOS (Turn of Sweep)
Set to 1 each time a turn of the sweep operation
completes.
Bit 0 EOS (End of Sweep)
Set to 1 when the entire sweep operation completes.
Bit Masking
To mask a bit in the source event register so that it
does not cause bit 1 (SSB) of the status byte to
change, set the corresponding bit in the source event
enable register to 0. Use the
:STATus:SOURce:ENABle command for this purpose.
Reading from the Source Event Register
The contents of the source event register can be read
by the :STATus:SOURce:EVENt? command. After the
register is read, it is cleared. The contents of the
source condition register can be read by the
:STATus:SOURce:CONDition? command. Reading
the register does not change the contents of the
register.
