Weighted Bit
Values
Register queries are returned using decimal weighted bit values. Enable registers
can be set using decimal, hex, octal, or binary. The following table can be used to
help set Enable registers using decimal and decode register queries.

The Operation Status Group
The Operation Status Group indicates the current operating state of the VT1419A.
The bit assignments are:
Bit # dec value hex value Bit Name Description

Calibrating Set by CAL:TARE and CAL:SETup. Cleared by
CAL:TARE? and CAL:SETup?. Set while *CAL?
executes and reset when *CAL? completes. Set by
CAL:CONFIG:VOLT or CAL:CONFIG:RES, cleared
by CAL:VAL:VOLT or CAL:VAL:RES.

STATus:OPERation:CONDition?
STATus:OPERation:CONDition? returns the decimal weighted value of the bits
set in the Condition register.
Comments
·
The Condition register reflects the real-time state of the status signals. The signals
are not latched; therefore past events are not retained in this register (see
STAT:OPER:EVENT?).
