questionableRegister
The status of the questionable status instrument summary register; a
zero (0) indicates no bits set (also send 0 to clear all bits); other values
indicate various bit settings
Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the questionable status instrument 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.
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.
Bit
Value
Description
B0
Not used
Not applicable.
B1
status.questionable.instrument.SMUA
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits
for the SMU A questionable register are set.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
Binary value: 0000 0010
B2
status.questionable.instrument.SMUB
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits
for the SMU B questionable register are set.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
Binary value: 0000 0100
B3-B15
Not used
Not applicable.
As an example, to set bit B1 of the questionable status instrument summary enable register, set
status.questionable.instrument.enable =
status.questionable.instrument.SMUA
.
In addition to the above constants,
questionableRegister
can be set to the numeric equivalent of
the bit to set. To set more than one bit of the register, set
operationRegister
to the sum of their
decimal weights. For example, to set bits B1 and B2, set
questionableRegister
to 6 (which is
the sum of 2 + 4).
Example
status.questionable.instrument.enable =
status.questionable.instrument.SMUA
Uses a constant to set the SMUA bit
of the questionable status
instrument summary enable register.
