Programming the Status Register System 4
Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz 115
Standard Operation Event Enable Register
The Standard Operation Event Enable Register lets you choose which bits in the Standard
Operation Event Register set the summary bit (bit 7 of the Status Byte Register) to 1.
Data Questionable Status Group
Some of the bits in this status group do not apply to the N8211A/N8212A and returns zero
when queried. Other bits have changed state content. See Ta b l e 7 on page 116.
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[:EVENt]?
Command: STATus:OPERation:ENABle <value>, where
<value> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.
Example: To enable bit 9 and bit 3 so that whenever either of those bits are set to 1, the Standard
Operation Status summary bit of the Status Byte Register is set to 1. Send the command
STAT:OPER:ENAB 520 (512 + 8).
Query: STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
Response: Decimal value of the sum of the bits previously enabled with the
STATus:OPERation:ENABle <value> command.
