Status Subsystem

This subsystem programs the ac source status registers. The ac source has four groups of status registers; Operation, Questionable, Questionable Instrument ISummary and Standard Event. The Standard Event group is programmed with Common commands. The Operation, Questionable, and Instrument ISummary status groups each consist of the following five registers:

Condition Enable Event NTR Filter PTR Filter.

Refer to Chapter 4 under “Programming the Status Registers” for more information.
