OPERation Status Register

The OPERation Status register indicates operational status as follows:

Bit #

Description

 

 

0CAL:STATe ON (calibration in progress)

5waiting for trigger

8pretrigger count is met

9 measurement complete

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 decimal-weighted bit values.

STATus:OPERation:CONDition?

STATus:OPERation:CONDition? returns a decimal-weighted number representing the bits set in the OPERation Status Condition Register.

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 decimal-weighted number representing the bits enabled in the OPERation Status Enable Register signifying which bit(s) will set OPR (bit 7) in the Status Byte Register.
