Data Questionable Power Condition Register
The Data Questionable Power Condition Register continuously monitors the hardware and
firmware status of the signal generator. Condition registers are read only.
Data Questionable Power Transition Filters (negative and positive)
The Data Questionable Power Transition Filters specify which type 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).
Table 3-7 Data Questionable Power Condition Register Bits
Bit Description
0 Unused. This bit is always set to 0.
1 Unleveled. A 1 in this bit indicates that the output leveling loop is unable to set the output
power.
2 Unused. This bit is always set to 0.
3 Low Band Detector Fault. A 1 in this bit indicates that the low band coupler detector fault
has caused an error in the power level below 2 GHz.
4−14 Unused. These bits are always set to 0.
15 Always 0.
Query: STATus:QUEStionable:POWer:CONDition?
Response: The decimal sum of the bits set to 1
Commands:
STATus:QUEStionable:POWer:NTRansition <value> (negative), or
STATus:QUEStionable:POWer:PTRansition <value> (positive), where
<value> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.
