Use Status Registers to Determine the State of

Analyzer Events and Conditions

Programs often need to detect and manage error conditions or changes in analyzer status. Agilent EMC products allow this function to be performed using status registers. You can determine the state of certain analyzer hardware and firmware events and conditions by programming the status register system.

Refer to Figure 2-1. The status system is comprised of multiple registers arranged in a hierarchical order. The service request enable register is at the top of the hierarchy and contains the general status information for the analyzer events and conditions. The lower-priority status registers propagate their data to the higher-priority registers in the data structures by means of summary bits. These registers are used to determine the states of specific events or conditions.

The two methods used to programmatically access the information in status registers are the polling method and the service request method. An explanation of these methods is given in the next section “What are the Status Registers?”
