Status reporting
The status reporting is done via the OPERation status register with the command
STATus:OPERation. The different status, warnings and errors are split up in separate arrays,
see below. The array is summed up on the level above with an “or” so that if one or
more bits
are set in an array, the bit on the level above will also be set. New sub commands have been
constructed to get the individual sub arrays e.g. to read the status bits in register 1, the
command STATus:QUEStionable:REG1 is used.
In the tables below the Bit indicates what bit the signal corresponds to after the decimal
number returned by the command has been converted to a binary digit, see also the example
after Table 6 for further explanation. The Input column indicates what digital input the signal is
connected to. If no input is indicated the signal is generated internally.
