DIAGnostic:SHORt

DIAGnostic:SHORt[<channel>] ON 1 OFF 0 connects an internal short across the input of the specified channel when the “ON” or “1” parameter is used. The internal short is enabled by “ON” or “1” and disabled by “OFF” or “0”.

Comments Short Remains in Effect Until Disabled: The short remains in effect until a reset or until it is disabled with DIAG:SHORt[<channel>] OFF.

Executable when initiated: NO

Coupled Command: NO

Reset (*RST) Condition: Short OFF

DIAGnostic:SHORt?

DIAGnostic:SHORt[<channel>]? queries the specified channel to determine if the internal short is connected. This command returns “1” if the short is present or returns “0” if it is not present.

DIAGnostic:STATus?

DIAGnostic:STATus? returns the status of bits in the instrument's interrupt sources register (offset 08h - see Appendix B). A high value in a bit location indicates a particular event has occurred. The bit positions and their meanings are as follows:

Bit

Event Represented When Bit is High

 

 

0

Channel 1 limit was exceeded or channel 1 trigger level was exceeded.

 

 

1

Channel 2 limit was exceeded or channel 2 trigger level was exceeded.

 

 

2

Channel 3 limit was exceeded or channel 3 trigger level was exceeded.

 

 

3

Channel 4 limit was exceeded or channel 4 trigger level was exceeded.

 

 

4

An input overload occurred and the input relay opened.

 

 

5

The pre-trigger count has been met.

 

 

6

The measurement has completed normally, or available memory has

 

been filled and the measurement was halted.

7A valid trigger event was received after the pretrigger acquisition (if any) was completed.
