Usage
nodeEnableRegister = status.node_enable
status.node_enable = nodeEnableRegister
The status of the system node enable register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set (also
send 0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various bit settings
Details
This attribute is used to read or write to the system node enable register. Reading the system node
enable register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the value indicates which register bits are
set. In the binary equivalent, the least significant bit is bit B0, and the most significant bit is bit B7. For
example, assume the value of 1.29000e+02 (which is 129) is returned for the system node enable
register, the binary equivalent is 1000 0001. This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B7 are set.
* Least significant bit
** Most significant bit
Assigning a value to this attribute enables one or more status events. When an enabled status event
occurs, a summary bit is set in the appropriate system summary register. The register and bit that is
set depends on the TSP-Link node number assigned to this instrument.
For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to Status register set
contents (on page E-1) and Enable and transition registers (on page E-19). The individual bits of this
register are defined in the following table.
