Section 13: Status Structure
Status byte register
The summary messages from the status registers and queues are used to set or clear the
appropriate bits (B0, B2, B3, B4, B5, and B7) of the status byte register. These summary bits do
not latch, and their states (0 or 1) are solely dependent on the summary messages (0 or 1). For
example, if the standard event register is read, its register will clear. As a result, its summary
message will reset to 0, which then resets the ESB bit in the status byte register.
The bits of the status byte register are described as follows:
•
Bit B0, Measurement Summary Bit (MSB)
: Set summary bit indicates that an enabled
measurement event has occurred.
•
Bit B1
: Not used.
•
Bit B2, Error Available (EAV)
: Set summary bit indicates that an error or status message is
present in the Error Queue.
•
Bit B3, Questionable Summary Bit (QSB)
: Set summary bit indicates that an enabled
questionable event has occurred.
•
Bit B4, Message Available (MAV)
: Set summary bit indicates that a response message is
present in the Output Queue.
•
Bit B5, Event Summary Bit (ESB)
: Set summary bit indicates that an enabled standard
event has occurred.
•
Bit B6, Request Service (RQS)/Master Summary Status (MSS)
: Set bit indicates that an
enabled summary bit of the Status Byte Register is set.
•
Bit B7, Operation Summary (OSB)
: Set summary bit indicates that an enabled operation
event has occurred.
Depending on how it is used, bit B6 of the Status Byte Register is either the Request for Service
(RQS) bit or the Master Summary Status (MSS) bit:
•
When using the serial poll sequence of the Model 6482 to obtain the status byte (serial poll
byte), bit B6 is the RQS bit. See
for details on using the serial poll
sequence.
•
When using the *STB? command to read the status byte (see
), bit B6 is the MSS
bit.
