STATus:QUEStionable Subsection

This subsection controls the SCPI-defined status-reporting structures.

Questionable Calibration Condition

:STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration:CONDition?

This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the Questionable

Calibration Condition register.

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

Questionable Calibration Enable

:STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration:ENABle <integer>

:STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration:ENABle?

This command determines which bits in the Questionable Calibration Condition

Register will set bits in the Questionable Calibration Event register, which also sets

the Calibration Summary bit (bit 8) in the Questionable Register. The variable

<integer> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.

Factory Preset

and *RST: 32767 (all 1’s)

Range: Integer, 0 to 32767

Questionable Calibration Event Query

:STATus:QUEStionable:CALibration[:EVENt]?

This query returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits in the Questionable

Calibration Event register.

NOTE The register requires that the equivalent PTR or NTR filters be set before a

condition register bit can set a bit in the event register.

The data in this register is latched until it is queried. Once queried, the data is

cleared.
