STATus

The STATus subsystem reports the bit values of a Standard Operation Status register. It enables the Status register to set a bit after a bit is set to 1 by the Standard Operation register.

Subsystem Syntax STATus

:OPERation

[:EVENt]? :ENABle <number>

:OPERation[:EVENt]? STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? returns the bit value of the Operation Status register (only bit 8 is used by the multiplexer modules).

Comments ∙ Setting Bit 8 of the Operation Status Register: Bit 8 (Scan Complete) is set to 1 after a scanning cycle completes. Bit 8 returns 0 after sending the STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? command.

∙Returned Data after sending the STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?

Command: The command returns +256 if bit 8 of the Operation Status register is set to 1. The command returns +0 if bit 8 of the Operation Status register is set to 0.

∙Related Commands: [ROUTe:]SCAN

Example Reading the Operation Status Register After a Scanning Cycle

STAT:OPER?

! Returns the bit values of the

 

Standard Operation Status

 

register. Returns +256 if bit 8 is

 

set to 1 or returns +0 if bit 8 is set

 

to 0.

:OPERation:ENABle STATus:OPERation:ENABle <number> enables the Operation Status register to set a bit in the Status register. For RF multiplexer modules, setting bit 8 in the Operation Status register to 1 sets bit 7 in the Status register to 1.
