The description of registers is only used for general explanation. Due to the complexity,
we recommend the general accessible SCPI standard document for more detailed
information.
For further description of the status register, see
Chapter 7.9, "Status Reporting Com-
Event Status Register (ESR) and Event Status Enable Register (ESE)
The ESR is defined in IEEE 488.2. It can be compared with the
EVENt
part of an SCPI
register. The event status register can be read out using the command
*ESR?
. The
ESE corresponds to the
ENABle
part of an SCPI register. If a bit is set in the ESE and
the associated bit in the ESR changes from 0 to 1, the ESB bit in the STB is set. The
ESE register can be set using the command
*ESE
and read using the command
*ESE?
.
STATus:OPERation Register
In the
CONDition
part, this register contains information on which actions the instru-
ment is being executing or, in the
EVENt
part, information on which actions the instru-
ment has executed since the last reading. It can be read using the commands
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
or
STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
.
Bit No. Meaning

CALibrating
This bit is set as long as the instrument is performing a calibration.
