STATus Subsystem

The STATus subsystem controls the SCPI-defined instrument-status reporting structures. Each status register has a set of five commands used for querying or masking that particular register.

Numeric values for bit patterns can be entered using decimal or hexidecimal representations. (i.e. 0 to 32767 is equivalent to #H0 to #H7FFF) See the SCPI Basics information about using bit patterns for variable parameters.

Operation Register

Operation Condition Query

:STATus:OPERation:CONDition?

This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the Status Operation Condition register.

The data in this register is continuously updated and reflects the current conditions.

Key Type: There is no equivalent front panel key.

Operation Enable

:STATus:OPERation:ENABle <integer>

:STATus:OPERation:ENABle?

This command determines what bits in the Operation Event register, will set the Operation Status Summary bit (bit 7) in the Status Byte Register. The variable <number> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.

The preset condition is to have all bits in this enable register set to 0. To have any Operation Events reported to the Status Byte Register, one or more bits need to be set to 1.

Key Type:	There is no equivalent front panel key.
Factory Preset
and *RST:	1
Range:	0 to 32767
