Figure 10-1: Protection Condition and Protection Event Register

The SESR (Standard Event Service Register).   Masking does 

not

 prevent events from 

setting bits in the SESR. This facilitates polling as a means of detecting these events, 
since the SESR can be polled (read) using the *ESR? command, irrespective of the bits 
set or not set in the Standard Event Status Enable Register. 

 

The SCPI Status Byte. Read using either the 
*STB? command, or the GPIB serial poll operation. 

The  SESER  (Standard  Event  Status  Enable  Register).    This 
register  is  read  using  the  *ESE?    SCPI  query  command.    This 
register is written to using the *ESE <value> command.  A “1” in 
the  appropriate  bit  location  enables  that  corresponding  bit  from 
the  SESR  to  pass  through  to  the  input  of  the  OR  gate  to  be 
included in the SESR summary bit (bit 5) in the SCPI Status Byte. 

The Service Request Enable Register (SRER).  
Used to enable which Status Byte bits can affect the 
service request bit. *SRE? reads. *SRE <value> writes. 

Seven bit-wise logical AND 
operations 

Eight bit-wise logical AND 
operations 

The  Protection  Enable  Register.  Readable  using  the  STAT:PROT:ENAB?  query 
command. Writable using the STAT:PROT:ENAB <value> command. Used to select 
what fault events could set a bit in the Fault Register. Certain faults can occur even 
if they are not enabled.  This is because the Protection Enable Register merely filters 
which events are allowed to affect the Fault Register, not whether those events can 
occur or not.  

Protection Condition Register 

– 

readable using 
STAT:PROT:COND? query command 

Fault Register (also called the Protection Event Register).   
Readable using the STAT:PROT:EVEN? Query.
