Remarks
• This attribute is used to read or write to the operation status registers.
• Reading a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value
indicates which register bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit 0,
and the most significant bit is bit 15.
• For example, assume value 17 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent is
0000000000010001. This value indicates that bit B0 (CAL) and bit B4 (MEAS) are set.
• The used bits of the operation status registers are described as follows:
•
Bit B0, CAL
: Set bit indicates that the summary bit of the
status.operation.calibrating
register has been set.
•
Bit B3, SWE
: Set bit indicates that the summary bit from the
status.operation.sweeping
register is set.
•
Bit B4, MEAS
: Set bit indicates that the summary bit of the
status.operation.measuring
register is set.
•
Bit B10, TRGOVR
: Set bit indicates that the summary bit from the
status.operation.trigger_overrun
register is set.
•
Bit B11, REM
: Set bit indicates that the summary bit of the
status.operation.remote
register is set.
•
Bit B12, USER
: Set bit indicates that an enabled bit in the
status.operation.user
register is set.
•
Bit B13, INST
:
Set bit indicates that an enabled bit in the
status.operation.instrument
register is set.
•
Bit B14, PROG
: Set bit indicates that a program is running.
