Status Subsystem

This subsystem programs the power supply status registers. The power supply has three groups of status registers; Operation, Questionable, and Standard Event. The Standard Event group is programmed with Common commands as described in "Chapter 4 - Status Reporting". The Operation and Questionable status groups each consist of the Condition, Enable, and Event registers and the NTR and PTR filters.

STAT:PRES

This command sets all defined bits in the Status Subsystem PTR registers and clears all bits in the subsystem NTR and Enable registers. STAT:OPER:PTR is set to 1313 and STAT:QUES:PTR is set to 1555.

STAT:OPER?

This query returns the value of the Operation Event register. The Event register is a read-only register which holds (latches) all events that are passed by the Operation NTR and/or PTR filter. Reading the Operation Event register clears it.

STAT:OPER:COND?

This query returns the value of the Operation Condition register. That is a read-only register which holds the real-time (unlatched) operational status of the power supply.
