Status Reporting

The HP 53131A/132A status registers conform to the SCPI and IEEE 488.2 standards.

Figure 3-6 shows all the status system register groups and queues in the Counter. This is a high level drawing that does not show all the registers that are contained in each group. It is intended as a guide to the bits used in each of these register groups to monitor the Counter ’s status. Note that besides the Operation Status and the Questionable Data/Signal Register groups, a summary of the Standard Status Structure Registers (defined by IEEE 488.2-1987) is shown.

Refer to the section in this chapter titled “How to Program the Counter for Status Reporting” and the flowchart in Figure 3-10 for detailed information on programming the status reporting system.
