Status Reporting
Status Byte Register
Status Byte Register
The Status Byte Register is the summary-level register in the status reporting
structure. It contains summary bits that monitor activity in the other status
registers and queues. The Status Byte Register is a live register. That is, its
summary bits are set and cleared by the presence and absence of a summary
bit from other event registers or queues.
If the Status Byte Register is to be used with the Service Request Enable
Register to set bit 6 (RQS/MSS) and to generate an SRQ, at least one of the
summary bits must be enabled, then set. Also, event bits in all other status
registers must be specifically enabled to generate the summary bit that sets the
associated summary bit in the Status Byte Register.
You can read the Status Byte Register using either the *STB? common command
query or the GPIB serial poll command. Both commands return the decimal-
weighted sum of all set bits in the register. The difference between the two
methods is that the serial poll command reads bit 6 as the Request Service
(RQS) bit and clears the bit which clears the SRQ interrupt. The *STB? query
reads bit 6 as the Master Summary Status (MSS) and does not clear the bit or
have any effect on the SRQ interrupt. The value returned is the total bit weights
of all of the bits that are set at the present time.
The use of bit 6 can be confusing. This bit was defined to cover all possible
computer interfaces, including a computer that could not do a serial poll. The
important point to remember is that if you are using an SRQ interrupt to an
external computer, the serial poll command clears bit 6. Clearing bit 6 allows
the oscilloscope to generate another SRQ interrupt when another enabled event
occurs.
The only other bit in the Status Byte Register affected by the *STB? query is
the Message Available bit (bit 4). If there are no other messages in the Output
Queue, bit 4 (MAV) can be cleared as a result of reading the response to the
*STB? query.
If bit 4 (weight = 16) and bit 5 (weight = 32) are set, a program would print the
sum of the two weights. Since these bits were not enabled to generate an SRQ,
bit 6 (weight = 64) is not set.
