System Commands 7
Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz 197
Status Subsystem (:STATus)
:OPERation:CONDition
Supported All
:
STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
Returns the decimal sum of the bits in the Standard Operation Condition register. This
register monitors N8211A/N8212A functions such as I/Q calibrating, sweeping, and
measuring. For example, if a sweep is in progress (bit 3), a decimal 8 is returned with this
query.
The data in this register is continuously updated and reflects current conditions.
Refer to the Chapter 4, “Programming the Status Register System for more information on
programming the status registers.
Range 0–32767
:OPERation:ENABle
Supported All
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle <val>
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle?
Enables bits in the Standard Operation Event Enable register. Bits enabled and set in this
register will set the Operation Status Summary bit (bit 7) in the Status Byte register. When
bit 7 in the Status Byte register is set, you can read the Standard Operation Event register to
determine the cause.
The variable <val> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits that you want to enable.
Refer to the Chapter 4, “Programming the Status Register System for more information on
programming the status registers.
Example
:STAT:OPER:ENAB 43
This command enables bit 0 (decimal 1, I/Q calibrating), bit 1 (decimal 2, Settling), bit 3
(decimal 8, Sweeping), and bit 5 (decimal 32, Waiting for Trigger) of the Standard Operation
Event Enable register.
Range 0–32767
