5-58 SCPI Command Reference
:CONDition? command
:CONDition?
:STATus:MEASurement:CONDition? Read Measurement Condition Register
:STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition? Read Questionable Condition Register
:STATus:OPERation:CONDition? Read Operation Condition Register
Description These query commands are used to read the contents of the condition
registers. Each set of event registers (except the Standard Event register
set) has a condition register. A condition register is similar to its corre
-
sponding event register, except that it is a real-time register that constant-
ly updates to reflect the current operating status of the instrument. See
[:EVENt] for register bit descriptions.
After sending one of these commands and addressing the Model 2000 to
talk, a decimal value is sent to the computer. The binary equivalent of this
decimal value indicates which bits in the register are set.
For example, if sending :stat:meas:cond? returns a decimal value of 512
(binary 0000001000000000), bit B9 of the Measurement Condition Reg-
ister is set indicating that the trace buffer is full.

:PRESET
:STATUS:PRESET Return registers to default conditions

lows:
