Bit Value Description
status.measurement.VOLTAGE_LIMIT
status.measurement.VLMT
Set bit is a summary of the
status.measurement.voltage_limit register.
status.measurement.CURRENT_LIMIT
status.measurement.ILMT
Set bit is a summary of the
status.measurement.current_limit register.
status.measurement.READING_OVERFLOW
status.measurement.ROF
Set bit is a summary of the
status.measurement.reading_overflow
register.
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
B8
status.measurement.BUFFER_AVAILABLE
status.measurement.BAV
Set bit is a summary of the
status.measurement.buffer_available
register.
Bit B8 decimal value: 256
status.measurement.OUTPUT_ENABLE
status.measurement.OE
Model 2601B/2602B/2604B: output enable line. Set
bit indicates that output enable has been asserted.
Bit B11 decimal value: 2,048
status.measurement.INTERLOCK
status.measurement.INT
Model 2611B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2635B/2636B:
interlock line. Set bit indicates that interlock has been
asserted.
Bit B11 decimal value: 2,048
B12 Not used Not applicable
status.measurement.INSTRUMENT_SUMMARY
status.measurement.INST
Set bit indicates that a bit in the measurement
instrument summary register is set.
Bit B13 decimal value: 8,192
As an example, to set bit B8 of the measurement event enable register, set status.measurement.enable =
status.measurement.BAV.
In addition to the above constants, measurementRegister can be set to the decimal equivalent of the bit to
set. To set more than one bit of the register, set measurementRegister to the sum of their decimal weights.
For example, to set bits B1 and B8, set measurementRegister to 258 (which is the sum of 2 + 256).
Decimal 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Example
status.measurement.enable = status.measurement.BAV
Sets the BAV bit of the
measurement event enable register.
