STATus Subsystem

2.Read the Event Register for all currents: STAT:QUES:CURR?

The system response: 0

3.Read the Condition Register for all currents: STAT:QUES:CURR:COND?

The system response: 0

4.Set an alarm to activate by dropping the amperage threshold for the +5 Volt supply down to 10 Amps:

STAT:QUES:CURR:LIMIT P5, 10.0

The system response: The front panel display should start flashing the alarm for +5V current over limits

5.Read the Condition and Event Registers. They should have bit 2 set. STAT:QUES:CURR?

The system response: 4

STAT:QUES:CURR:CONDITION: The system response: 4

6.Read the same registers: since the event still exists the Condition Register will display the problem with +5V current. The Event Register was cleared from the previous read operation:

STAT:QUES:CURR? The system response: 0 STAT:QUES:CURR:COND? The system response: 4

7.Clear all event registers and reset the alarm: *CLS

8.Read the Event Register that shows *CLS caused the event to be re-triggered:

STAT:QUES:CURR? The system response: 4

9.Clear the event again to trigger the event, but this time eliminate the error before reading registers:

*CLS

STAT:QUES:CURR:LIMIT P5, MAX

The system response: The alarm is removed STAT:QUES:CURR?

The system response: 4 (Error situation removed, but still displays the event) STAT:QUES:CURR:COND?

The system response: 0 (No errors exist at this time)
