ESR and ESE
The Event Status Register (ESR) indicates general instrument states. It is linked to the
Event Status Enable (ESE) register on a bit-by-bit basis.
●
The ESR corresponds to the CONDition part of an SCPI register indicating the current
instrument state (although reading is destructive).
●
The ESE corresponds to the ENABle part of an SCPI register. If a bit is set in the ESE
and the associated bit in the ESR changes from 0 to 1, the ESB bit in the STatus Byte
is set.
The bits in the ESR are defined as follows:
Bit No.
Meaning
0
Operation Complete
This bit is set on receipt of the command *OPC after all previous commands have been
executed.
2
Query Error
This bit is set if either the controller wants to read data from the instrument without having
sent a query, or if it does not fetch requested data and sends new instructions to the instru-
ment instead. The cause is often a query which is faulty and hence cannot be executed.

Device-Dependent Error
This bit is set if a device-dependent error occurs. An error message with a number between

–
399 or a positive error number, which describes the error in greater detail, is
entered into the error queue. See also

Execution Error
This bit is set if a received command is syntactically correct, but cannot be performed for
other reasons. An error message with a number between
–
200 and
–
300, which describes
the error in greater detail, is entered into the error queue.
5
Command Error
This bit is set if a command which is undefined or syntactically incorrect is received. An error
message with a number between -100 and -200, which describes the error in greater detail,
is entered into the error queue.
6
User Request
This bit is set when the instrument is switched over to manual control or when a user-defined
softkey is used (see
7
Power On
