Status Byte Register The OPR Operational Status bit, RQS Request for Service bit, ESB Standard Event Status Summary bit, MAV Message Available Summary bit and QUE QUEStionable Status Summary bit in the Status Byte Register (bits 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 respectively) can be queried with *STB?, but will be executed when previous commands are finished.
NOTE Using Agilent VISA, you can query the value of the status byte without going through the digitizer’s command parser by using the viReadSTB function call. The OPR bit is the summary bit for the OPERation Status Register. The QUE bit is the summary bit for the QUEStionable Status Register.
Standard Event Status Register
Use *ESE? to query the "unmask" value for the Standard Event Status Register (bits you want logically ORed into the summary bit). Query using
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
STATus:OPERation:CONDition? returns a
STATus:OPERation:ENABle
STATus:OPERation:ENABle <unmask> enables (unmasks) bits in the OPERration Status Enable Register to be reported to the summary bit (setting Status Byte Register bit 7 true). The event register bits are not reported in the Status Byte Register unless specifically enabled.
STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
STATus:OPERation:ENABle? returns a
