Usage
measurementRegister = status.measurement.reading_overflow.condition
measurementRegister = status.measurement.reading_overflow.enable
measurementRegister = status.measurement.reading_overflow.event
measurementRegister = status.measurement.reading_overflow.ntr
measurementRegister = status.measurement.reading_overflow.ptr
status.measurement.reading_overflow.enable = measurementRegister
status.measurement.reading_overflow.ntr = measurementRegister
status.measurement.reading_overflow.ptr = measurementRegister
The status of the measurement reading overflow summary register; a zero (0)
indicates no bits set (also send 0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various
Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the measurement event reading overflow 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. For
example, assume the value 2 is returned for the enable register. The binary equivalent is 0000 0000 0000 0010.
This value indicates that bit B1 (SMUA) is set.
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.
Bit Value Description
B0 Not used Not applicable.
B1
status.measurement.reading_overflow.SMUA
