status.operation.instrument.smuX.*
This attribute contains the operation status SMU X summary register set.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
.event (R) Yes Status reset Not saved 0
Usage
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.smuX.condition
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.smuX.enable
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.smuX.event
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.smuX.ntr
operationRegister = status.operation.instrument.smuX.ptr
status.operation.instrument.smuX.enable = operationRegister
status.operation.instrument.smuX.ntr = operationRegister
status.operation.instrument.smuX.ptr = operationRegister
The status of the operation status SMU X summary register; a zero (0) indicates no
bits set (also send 0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various bit settings
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example
status.operation.instrument.smua.enable
applies to SMU channel A)
Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the operation status SMU X summary registers. Reading
a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates which register
bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit B0, and the most significant bit is bit
B15. 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 B15. For example, if a value of
1.02500e+02 (which is 1,025) is read as the value of the condition register, the binary equivalent is
0000 0100 0000 0010. This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B10 are 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.
