STATus
The status registers of the R&S NRP can be read and configured with commands of the STATus
system. The R&S NRP uses the following status registers:
•
Standard Event Status Register (specified in IEEE 488.2. Reading and configuring with *ESR? and
*ESE. This register is not handled by the STATus system.)
•
Device Status Register
•
Questionable

Operation Sense Status Register
•
Operation Lower Limit Fail Status Register
•
Operation Upper Limit Fail Status Register
Except for the Standard Event Status Register, each of these registers comprises five subregisters with
which the function of the register can be configured. These subregisters are called
•
EVENt
•
CONDition
•
NTRansition
•
PTRansition
•
ENABle
The registers are 16 bits wide but only the lower 15 bits are used. This prevents problems with
programs that cannot handle integers without sign.
For the sake of conciseness, not all commands are listed here. For a complete

set the ENABle, PTRansition, NTRansition registers of a status register and
thus determine the response of the register to status changes in the
R&S NRP.
