Model 2100 6 1/2-Digit Resolution Digital Multimeter User’s Manual Appendix B: Remote Interface Reference
The following conditions will clear the standard event register:
• Users send a *CLS command.
• Users query the event register by using the *ESR? command.
The following conditions will clear the standard event enable register:
• Users turn on the power, and have set the DMM previously by using the *PSC 1 command.
• Users execute a *ESE 0 command.
NOTE When the DMM is powered on, the standard event enable register will not be cleared if
users have set the DMM previously by using *PSC 0.
About the Questionable Data Register
The questionable data register reports the quality of the DMM’s measurement results, as well
overload conditions and high/low limit test results. Through the enable register, all of the conditions
can be reported in the questionable data summary bit. At the moment, users have to write a
decimal value by using the STATus:QUESTionable:ENABle command to set the enable register
mask.
The following table shows the definitios for the Standard Event Register (see Table B-3).
3. Device error 8 Error occurrence from a self-test, calibration, or reading over-
load.
4. Execution error 16 Error occurrence from an execution.
5. Command error 32 Error occurrence from a command’s syntax.
6. Not used 64 Set to 0.
7. Power on 128 Since the last time the event register was read or cleared,
power has been turned off and on.
