Status Reporting in SCPI
The status reporting implemented in the XG is primarily dictated by the SCPI standard. This section provides a high level review of the standard status reporting required by SCPI and then covers the XG specific reporting that is implemented within the SCPI status reporting framework.
Figure 5-16 is taken from the SCPI 99 standard and shows the minimum status reporting requirements for a SCPI compliant device.
Throughout this chapter, figures are used to explain the relationship between the registers, enable/disabling register and their summary bits. The figures use four logical symbols to demonstrate the relationship between the register. The “!” block represents logical not or complement of the input signal. The “&” block represents the logical AND operator. The “” block represents the logical OR operation. The “+” block represents the logical OR of all the bits from the enable register. The model has several ellipses which are there to indicate that the pattern of logic shown is repeated for all bits in the registers.
