B11
status.operation.REMOTE_SUMMARY
status.operation.REM
Set bit indicates that the summary bit of the
status.operation.remote
register is set.
Bit B11 decimal value: 2048
B12
status.operation.USER
Set bit indicates that the summary bit from the
status.operation.user
register is set.
Bit B12 decimal value: 4096
B13
status.operation.INSTRUMENT_SUMMARY
status.operation.INST
Set bit indicates that the summary bit from the
status.operation.instrument
register is set.
Bit B13 decimal value: 8192
B14
status.PROGRAM_RUNNING
status.PROG
Set bit indicates that a command or program is running.
Bit B14 decimal value: 16,384
B15
Not used
Not applicable
As an example, to set bit B12 of the operation status enable register, set
status.operation.enable
=
status.OPERATION.USER
.
In addition to the above constants,
operationRegister
can be set to the numeric equivalent of the bit to set.
To set more than one bit of the register, set
operationRegister
to the sum of their decimal weights. For
example, to set bits B12 and B14, set
operationRegister
to 20,480 (which is the sum of 4096 + 16,384).
