IEEE-488 Reference

The individual bits of the transition filter registers can be set
or cleared by using the following SCPI commands:
:STATus:OPERation:PTR <NRf>
:STATus:OPERation:NTR <NRf>
The transition filter registers can be read at any time by using
the following SCPI query commands:
:STATus:OPERation:PTR?
:STATus:OPERation:NTR?
Reading a transition filter register using the above query
commands does not affect the contents of the register.
The following operations will set (1) all the bits of the PTR
register and clear (0) all the bits of the NTR register:
1. Cycling power.
2. Sending the :STATus:PRESet command.
3. Sending the :STATus:OPERation:PTR 65535 and
:STATus:OPERation:NTR 0 commands.

Operation Event Register
This is a latched, read-only
register whose bits are set by the Operation Condition Reg-
ister and Transition Filter. Once a bit in this register is set, it
will remain set (latched) until the register is cleared by a spe-
cific clearing operation. The bits of this register are logically
ANDed with the bits of the Operation Event Enable Register
and applied to an OR gate. The output of the OR gate is the
Operation Summary Bit (OSB) that is applied to the Status
Byte Register. The following SCPI query command can be
used to read the Operation Event Register:
:STATus:OPERation?
Reading this register using the above SCPI command clears
the register. The following list summarizes all operations that
will clear the Operation Event Register:
1. Cycling power.
2. Sending the *CLS common command.
3. Sending the :STATus:OPERation:EVENt? query com-
mand.
