Controlling node and SRQ enable registers
For the attributes to control system node and SRQ enable bits and read
associated registers, refer to:
status.request_enable (on page 13-276)
status.request_event (on page 13-278)
status.node_enable (on page 13-267)
status.node_event (on page 13-269)
Status register set specifics
There are five status register sets in the status structure of the Series 3700:
System summary event status
Standard event status
Operation event status
Questionable event status
Measurement event status
System summary event registers
There are five register sets associated with system event status. These registers
summarize system status for various nodes connected to the TSP-Link
TM
. Note
that all nodes on the TSP-Link share a copy of the system summary registers
once the TSP-Link has been initialized. This feature allows all nodes to access
the status models of other nodes, including SRQ. Commands are summarized
below.
For example, either of the following commands will set the extension (EXT)
enable bit:
status.system.enable = status.system.EXT
status.system.enable = 1
The following command will request the system enable register value:
print(status.system.enable)
