Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the operation status SMU X summary registers. Reading
a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates which register
bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit B0, and the most significant bit is bit
B15. The binary equivalent of the value indicates which register bits are set. In the binary equivalent,
the least significant bit is bit B0, and the most significant bit is bit B15. For example, if a value of
1.02
(which is 1,025) is read as the value of the condition register, the binary equivalent is
0000 0100 0000 0010. This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B10 are set.

For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to
Enable and transition registers
(on page E-16). The individual bits of this
register are defined in the following table.
