Status System Commands

Standard Operation Register Commands

See the table on page 285 for the register bit definitions.

STATus:OPERation:CONDition?

Query the condition register in this register group. This is a read-only register and bits are not cleared when you read the register. Note that a *RST (Factory Reset) command may set the “Configuration Change” bit (bit 8) in the condition register. A query of this register returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.

STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?

Query the event register in this register group. This is a read-only register. Once a bit is set, it remains set until cleared by the STATus:OPER:EVENt? command or *CLS (clear status) command.

A query of this register returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.

STATus:OPERation:ENABle <enable_value>STATus:OPERation:ENABle?

Enable bits in the enable register in this register group. The selected bits are then reported to the Status Byte. A *CLS (clear status) will not clear the enable register but it does clear all bits in the event register. A STATus:PRESet clears all bits in the enable register. To enable bits in the enable register, you must write a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of the bits you wish to enable in the register.

The :ENABle? query returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits enabled by the STATus:OPER:ENABle command.
