Questionable event registers
The Series 3700 has five registers associated with questionable event status.
For example, to set the CAL enable bit, use either of the following commands:
status.questionable.enable = status.questionable.CAL
status.questionable.enable = 256
The following command will request the questionable enable register value:
print(status.questionable.enable)
The bits used in the questionable event registers are described as follows:
SxINL: Set bit indicates the interlock connection of a card in slot x is in
question, where x = 1 to 6.
DMMCON: Set bit indicates the DMM connection is in question for a
measurement taken.
CAL: Set bit indicates the calibration of the instrument is in question.
SxTHR: Set bit indicates the thermal aspect of the card in slot x is in
question, where x = 1 to 6.
Questionable event commands appear in the following table:
