Status Reporting Commands
118 E3632A User’s Guide
STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
This command queries the Questionable Status condition
register to check CV or CC mode of the power supply. The
power supply returns a decimal value which corresponds to
the binary- weighted sum of all bits in the register. These
bits are not latched. If 0 is returned, the power supply is in
output off or unregulated state. If 1 is returned, the power
supply is in the CC operating mode and if 2 is returned, the
power supply is in the CV operating mode. If 3 is returned,
the power supply is in failure.
STATus:QUEStionable?
This command queries the Questionable Status event
register. The power supply returns a decimal value which
corresponds to the binary- weighted sum of all bits in the
register. These bits are latched. Reading the event register
clears it.
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle <enable value>
This command enables bits in the Questionable Status
Enable register. The selected bits are then reported to the
Status Byte.
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle?
This command queries the Questionable Status Enable
register. The power supply returns a binary- weighted
decimal representing the bits set in the enable register.
*CLS
This command clears all event registers and Status Byte
register.
*ESE <enable value>
This command enables bits in the Standard Event Enable
register. The selected bits are then reported to the Status
Byte.
