Status Reporting System

Introduction

Status reporting is a method to let the controller know what the counter is do- ing. You can ask the counter what status it is in whenever you want to know.

You can select some conditions in the counter that should be reported in the Sta- tus Byte Register. You can also select if some bits in the Status Byte should gen- erate a Service Request (SRQ).

(An SRQ is the instrument’s way to call the controller for help.)

Read more about the Status Subsystem in Chapter 6.
