Programming the Status Register System
Overview
conditions.
The lower level status registers are grouped according to their functionality. For example, the Data
Questionable Frequency Status Group consists of five registers. This chapter may refer to a group as
a register so that the cumbersome longer description is avoided. For example, the Standard Operation
Status Group’s Condition Register can be referred to as the Standard Operation Status register. Refer
to “Status Groups” on page 177 for more information.
Figure 4- 1, Figure 4- 2, Figure 4- 3, Figure 4- 4, Figure 4- 5, and Figure 4- 6 shows each signal
generator model’s signal generator’s status byte register system and hierarchy.
The status register systems use IEEE 488.2 commands (those beginning with *) to access the
higher- level summary registers (refer to the SCPI Command Reference). Access Lower- level registers
by using STATus commands.
