Standard Event Status Summary Bit: A 1 in this bit

 

 

position indicates that the standard event status summary bit has

 

 

been set. The standard event status register can then be read to

 

 

determine the specific event that caused this bit to be set.

Request Service (RQS) Summery Bit: A 1 in this bit

 

 

position indicates that the analyzer has at least one reason to

 

 

report a status change. This bit is also called the master summary

 

 

status bit (MSS).

Operation Status Summary Bit: A 1 in this bit position

 

 

indicates that the operation status summary bit has been set. The

 

 

operation status event register can then be read to determine the

 

 

specific event that caused this bit to be set.

 

 

 

To query the status byte register, send the *STB command. The response will be the decimal sum of the bits that are set to 1. For example, if bit number 7 and bit number 3 are set to 1, the decimal sum of the 2 bits is 128 plus 8. So the decimal value 136 is returned.

Service Request Enable Register

In addition to the status byte register, the status byte group also contains the service request enable register. The status byte service request enable register lets you choose which bits in the Status Byte Register will trigger a service request.

Send the *SRE <number> command (where <number> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable plus the decimal value of bit 6). For example, assume that you want to enable bit 7 so that whenever the operation status summary bit is set to 1, it will trigger a service request. Send the *SRE 192 (128 +

64)command. The *SRE? command returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits enabled previously with the *SRE <number> command.

NOTE

You must always add 64 (the numeric value of RQS bit 6) to your numeric sum

 

when you enable any bits for a service request.

 

The service request enable register contains the following bits:
