Users Manual

For example, an IER byte of binary 10000000 (decimal 128) indicates Scan Complete. If the IEE register is set to binary 10000000 (using the command IEE 128), then a Scan Complete condition will cause the Logical OR gate to output a logic high. In a similar manner, parameters can be combined. An IER byte of binary 10000101 (decimal 133) and an IEE set to a corresponding binary 10000101 (using the command IEE 133), will cause the Logical OR gate to have a logic high output for any of three conditions: Scan Complete -or- Open Thermocouple -or- Alarm Limit Transition.

Other commands include IER?, which returns the decimal equivalent of the IER byte and then clears the register to zero, and IEE?, which returns the decimal equivalent of the IEE byte. The command *CLS will clear all event registers. (See Appendix E for an 8-bit binary-coded-decimal table.)

Description

Alarm Limit Transition. Set high (1) when any measurement value has transitioned into or out of alarm. Alarms are defined through the front panel or the computer interface (ALARM_LIMIT). This bit is cleared when read with IER? and when alarms or review values are cleared.

Totalize Overflow. Set high (1) when the Totalizer overflows (65,535). This bit is cleared when read with IER? and when the Totalizer is zeroed from the front panel or set to some other non-overflow value (,65,535) with the computer interface TOTAL command.

Open Thermocouple. Set high (1) when open thermocouple checking is enabled (with TEMP_CONFIG command) and any thermocouple channel is measured with a source impedance greater than 1 to 4 kilohms.

Calibration Corrupted. Set high (1) when the instrument calibration data is corrupted. When a calibration data check shows a corruption of calibration data, the calibration alarm bit remains set in the Instrument Status Register until the instrument is recalibrated.

NOTES

Whenever the Instrument Event Register is read, the condition bits are cleared.

This register is used in conjunction with the Instrument Event Enable Register to determine the conditions under which the Instrument Event Bit of the Status Byte is set.

Standard Event Status Register (ESR)

The inputs to the Standard Event Status Register (ESR) include Power On, Command Error, Execution Error, Device Dependent Error, Query Error and Operation Complete. Each input is described in Table 4-2. The output byte of the ESR is ANDed with the output byte of the corresponding Standard Event Status Enable (ESE) register. When there is logic high correlation between any of the bits of the ESR and ESE registers, the
