Commands

STATus:ALARm:ENABle?

This command returns the Alarm Status Enable Register (see STATus:ALARm:ENABle <num> command below).

Example: STAT:ALAR:ENAB?

Response: 32

STATus:ALARm:ENABle <num>MINMAXDEF

This command sets the Alarm Status Enable Register. This register determines which event bits of the Alarm Status Event Register affect the Alarm Status Bit of the Status Byte Register. If any bit in the Alarm Status Event Register is set (1) while its corresponding mask bit in the Alarm Status Enable Register is set, the Alarm Status Bit in the Status Byte Register will be set. The value of the <num> parameter is a number from 0 to 63 that is the sum of the binary-weighted values of each mask bit. The Alarm Status Event Register is described in Section 8.4.11.9, STATus:ALARm?. The following example causes the Alarm Status Bit in the Status Byte Register to be set when a power failure alarm has been triggered.

Example: STAT:ALAR:ENAB 32

Response: 32

STATus:MEASure?

This command reads and clears the Measure Status Event Register. The value returned indicates the condition of each of the eight bits of the register by adding the binary- weighted values of each bit. The meaning of each bit, when set (1), is as follows where 0 is the least significant and 7 is the most significant:

0:no measurement.

Bit 0 Channel 1 temperature measure bit.

Bit 1 Channel 1 humidity measure bit.

Bit 2 Channel 2 temperature measure bit.

Bit 3 Channel 2 humidity measure bit.

Bit 4 Not used. Bit 5 Not used. Bit 6 Not used. Bit 7 Not used.

Example: STAT:MEAS?

Response: 3

STATus:MEASure:CONDition?

This command reads the Measurement Status Condition Register. Reading this register does not affect it. The value returned indicates the condition of each of the eight bits of the register by adding the binary-weighted values of each bit. The meaning of each bit, when set (1), is as follows where 0 is the least significant and 7 is the most significant:

0:no measurement

Bit 0 Channel 1 temperature measure bit.

Bit 1 Channel 1 humidity measure bit.

Bit 2 Channel 2 temperature
