STATus Subsystem Introduction
STATus Subsystem Introduction
The instrument uses a SCPI status system, which records various instrument conditions and states in several register
groups.
In this subsystem, an event is something that occurred, even though it may not still be occurring. A condition is some-
thing that is currently present. A condition will appear in the event register, but the event register is read destructive,
meaning they are cleared (set to 0) when read.
The STATus commands
manipulate bits in two of the enable registers. You can:
l
Enable bits in the
Questionable Data enable
register (
).
l
Enable bits in the
Operation enable
register (
). Query:
l
Clear all bits in the
Questionable Data
enable register and the Standard Operation enable register (
).
The STATus
queries
allow you to access information about the status bits in the
Questionable Data
registers,
including:
l
The binary-weighted sum of all bits enabled in the Questionable Data
condition
register (
l
The binary-weighted sum of all bits enabled in the Questionable Data
event
register (
l
The binary-weighted sum of all bits enabled in the Questionable Data
enable
register (
).
The STATus
queries
also allow you to access information about the status bits in the
Operation
registers, including:
l
The binary-weighted sum of all bits enabled in the Operation
condition
register (
).
l
The binary-weighted sum of all bits enabled in the Operation
event
register (
).
Standard Operation Register Group
The following table describes the Standard Operation Register group.

Calibrating

A self-test is running.

Channel 1 Initiated
8
Channel is initiated and outputting the desired wave-
form. In INIT[1|2]:CONT OFF, this bit is set after receiv-
ing an INIT and not cleared until channel goes to IDLE (
trigger count satisfied and not busy.) This bit is 0 if the
channel is in INIT[1|2]:CONT ON mode.
