STATus
The STATus subsystem reports the bit values of the Operation Status
Register. This subsystem enables a bit to be set to 1 in the Status Register,
after a bit is set to 1 in the Operation Status Register.
Subsystem Syntax STATus
:OPERation
:ENABle <
number>
[:EVENt?]
:OPERation:ENABle STATus:OPERation:ENABle <number> enables the Operation Status
Register to set a bit in the Status Register. For multiplexer modules, when
bit 8 in the Operation Status Register is set to 1, bit 7 in the Status Register
is set to 1.
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values
number
Numeric 1 to 32768
Comments • Setting Bit 7 of the Status Register: STATus:OPERation:ENABle
256
allows bit 7 of the Status Register to be set to 1 after bit 8 of the
Operation Status Register is set to 1.
• Related Commands: [ROUTe:]SCAN, *SRE, *STB?, *SPOLL
Example Enabling the Status Register Bit 7
STAT:OPER:ENAB 256 Enables bit 7 of the Status Register
to be set.
:OPERation[:EVENt]? STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? returns the bit value of the Operation
Status Register (only bit 8 is used by the multiplexer modules).
Comments • Setting Bit 8 of the Operation Status Register: Bit 8 (Scan
Complete) is set to 1 after a scanning cycle completes. Bit 8 returns
to 0 after sending the
STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? command.
• Returned Data after sending the STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
Command: The command returns +256 if bit 8 of the Operation
Status Register is set to 1. The command returns +0 if bit 8 of the
Operation Status Register is set to 0.
• Related Commands: [ROUTe:]SCAN, *SRE, *STB?, *SPOLL
Example Reading the Operation Status Register after a Scanning Cycle
STAT:OPER? Returns the bit values of the
Standard Operation Status
Register.
read and print the register value +256 shows bit 8 is set to 1;
+0 shows bit 8 is set to 0.
