Command Error (bit 5)
This bit is set when the command line is not recognised by the parser. This could
be an invalid command, parameter or syntax. The command is ignored.
Pow er On (bit 7)
Indicates that an off-on transition has occurred in the instrument’s power supply.
The following commands are used to access these registers;
*ESR?
Query the Standard Event Register. The instrument returns a decimal value which
corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register, and clears
it.
*ESE <
enable value
>
Enable bits in the Standard Event Enable Register. The selected bits are then
reported to the Status Byte.
*ESE?
Query the Standard Event Enable Register. The instrument returns a decimal
value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.
Operation Registers
Measuring (bit 4)
This bit is set when a new measurement starts and is cleared when complete.
Measurement Available (bit 8)
This bit is set when a new measurement started by the INITiate command has
completed. The bit is cleared when the FETCh? command is used to transfer the
value to the output buffer.
The following commands are used to access these registers:
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
Query the Operation Condition Register. The instrument returns a binary-
weighted decimal value representing the bits set in the condition register.
STATus:OPERation:EVENt?
Query the Operation Event Register. The instrument returns a binary-weighted
decimal value representing the bits set in the event register, and clears it.
STATus:OPERation:ENABle <
enable value
>
Enable bits in the Operation Enable Register. The selected bits are then reported
to the Status Byte.
STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
Query the Operation Enable Register. The instrument returns a binary-weighted
decimal value representing the bits set in the enable register.
