4.6 Status
Structure
The NGMO2 provides a series of status registers and queues allowing
the operator to monitor and manipulate the various instrument events.
The status structure is shown in Fig. 4-4. The heart of the status struc-
ture is the status byte register. This register can be read by the
user’s test program to determine if a service request (SRQ) has occur-
red, and what event caused it.
4.6.1
Status Byte and SRQ
The status byte register receives the summary bytes of four status re-
gister sets and two queues. The register sets and queues monitor the
various instrument events. When an enabled event occurs, it sets a
summery bit in the status byte register. When a summary of a status
byte is set and its corresponding enable bit is set (as programmed by
the user), the RQS/MSS bit will set to indicate that an SRQ has occur-
red.
4.6.1.1
Status Register Sets
A typical status register set is made up of a condition register, an event
register and an event enable register. A condition register is a read-only
register that is continously updated to reflect the present operating
conditions of the instrument.
When an event occurs, the appropriate event register bit is set to 1.
The bit remains latched to 1 until the register is reset. When an event
register bit is set and its corresponding enable bit is set (as program-
med by the user), the output (summary) of the register is set to 1, which
in turn sets the summary bit of the status byte register.
4.6.2 Queues
The NGMO2 uses an output queue and an error queue. The response
messages to query commands are placed in the output queue. As vari-
ous programming errors and status messages occur, they are placed in
the error queue. When a queue contains data, it sets the appropriate
summary bit of the status byte register.
