STATus

The STATus subsystem reports the bit values of the Operation Status Register. This enables the Status Register to set a bit after a bit is set to 1 by the Operation Status Register.

:OPERation

 

 

 

:ENABle <number>

 

 

[:EVENt]?

 

 

:OPERation:ENABle

STATus:OPERation:ENABle <number> enables the Operation Status

 

Register to set a bit in the Status Register. For multiplexer modules, when

 

bit 8 in the Operation Status Register is set to 1, bit 7 in the Status Register

 

is set to 1.

Comments

Setting Bit 7 of the Status Register: STATus:OPERation:ENABle

256 sets bit 7 of the Status Register to 1 after bit 8 of the Operation Status Register is set to 1.

Disabling STATus:OPERation: The STATus:PRESet command disables the STATus:OPERation:ENABle command.

Related Commands: [ROUTe:]SCAN, *SRE, *STB?, *SPOLL, STATus:PRESet

Example Enable the Status Register Bit 7

STAT:OPER:ENAB 256

Enables bit 7 of the Status Register.

: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 to 0 after sending the STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? command. For correct operation set to 0 by *CLS before scanning.

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, *SRE, *STB?, *SPOLL

Example Reading the Operation Status Register after a Scanning Cycle
