SCPI Status System
An
event
register latches various events. Events are not buffered, therefore
once a bit is set in the event register, further occurrences of that event are
ignored. Once a bit is set in an event register, the bit remains set until the
register is read (
*ESR?
) or a
*CLS
(clear status) command is issued. A
query of an event register returns a decimal value in the appropriate
output buffer which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set
in the register.
An
enable
register (or bitmask) defines which bits in an event register are
reported to the Status Byte register group. An enable register can be both
written and queried. The
*CLS
(clear status) command does not clear an
enable register. To enable or disable bits in an enable register, write a
decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of the bits
you wish reported to the Status Byte register.
4.2.2.1
Status Byte Register
The Status Byte register group reports conditions from the Standard Event
register or output buffers. Data in the output buffer is immediately reported in
the “Serial Message Available” bit (bit 3). Clearing a bit in the Standard Event
register will update the corresponding bit in the Status Byte register,
according to the Standard Event enable register. Reading the pending
