Status Commands

Status Commands

Status commands program the power supply’s status registers. As shown in the following figure, the power supply has three groups of status registers; Operation, Questionable, and Standard Event. The Operation and Questionable status groups each consist of the Condition, Enable, and Event registers and NTR and PTR filters.
