Baseband Operation Condition Register
The Baseband Operation Condition Register continuously monitors the hardware and
firmware status of the signal generator. Condition registers are read only.
Baseband Operation Transition Filters (negative and positive)
The Baseband Operation Transition Filters specify which types of bit state changes in the
condition register set corresponding bits in the event register. Changes can be positive (0 to 1)
or negative (1 to 0).
Baseband Operation Event Register
The Baseband Operation Event Register latches transition events from the condition register
as specified by the transition filters. Event registers are destructive read only. Reading data
from an event register clears the content of that register.
Table 3-6 Baseband Operation Condition Register Bits
Bit Description
0 Baseband 1 Busy. A 1 in this position indicates the signal generator baseband is
active.
1 Baseband 1 Communicating. A 1 in this bit position indicates that the signal
generator baseband generator is handling data I/O.
2–14 Unused. This bit position is set to 0.
15 Always 0.
Query:
STATus:OPERation:BASeband:CONDition?
Response: The decimal sum of the bits set to 1
Example: The decimal value 2 is returned. The decimal sum = 2 (bit 1).
Commands:
STATus:OPERation:BASeband:NTRansition <value> (negative transition), or
STATus:OPERation:BASeband:PTRansition <value> (positive transition),
where
<value> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.
