Programming the Status Register System
Status Groups
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.
Baseband Operation Event Enable Register
The Baseband Operation Event Enable Register lets you choose which bits in the Baseband Operation
Event Register can set the summary bit (bit 7 of the Status Byte Register).
Data Questionable Status Group
NOTE Some of the bits in this status group do not apply to the E4428C, E8257D, E8267D, E8663B,
E8663D, and the N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A, and returns zero when queried. Other bits have
changed state content. See Table 4- 8 on page 187 for more information.
The Data Questionable Status Group is used to determine the specific event that set bit 3 in the
Status Byte Register. This group consists of the Data Questionable Condition Register, the Data
Questionable Transition Filters (negative and positive), the Data Questionable Event Register, and the
Data Questionable Event Enable Register.
Query: STATus:OPERation:BASeband[:EVENt]?
Command: STATus:OPERation:BASeband:ENABle <value>, where
<value> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.
Example: Enable bit 0 and bit 1 so that whenever either of those bits are set to 1, the Baseband Operation
Status summary bit of the Status Byte Register is set to 1. Send the command STAT:OPER:ENAB (2 +
1).
Query: STATus:OPERation:BASeband:ENABle?
Response: Decimal value of the sum of the bits previously enabled with the
STATus:OPERation:BASeband:ENABle <value> command.
