Operation event registers
The Series 3700 has two register sets associated with Operation Event Status. Commands are
summarized in the following table. For example, either of the following commands will set the
MEAS enable bit:
status.operation.ENABLE = status.operation.MEAS
status.operation.ENABLE = 1
The bits used in the Operation Event Registers are described as follows:
CAL:
Set bit indicates that the instrument is calibrating.
MEAS:
Bit will be set when taking an overlapped measurement, but it will not set when
taking a normal synchronous measurement.
PRMPT:
Set bit indicates that command prompts are enabled.
USER:
Set bit indicates that an enabled bit in the operation status user register is set.
PROG:
Set bit indicates that a program is running.
Operation event commands appear in the following table:

Bit
To set register bits:
status.operation.* = status.operation.CAL
status.operation.* = status.operation.MEAS
status.operation.* = status.operation.PRMT
status.operation.* = status.operation.USER
status.operation.* = status.operation.PROG

print(status.operation.condition)
print(status.operation.event)
