Details
These attributes are used to read or write to the questionable status instrument 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 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
status.questionable.instrument.SMUA
Set bit indicates one or more enabled bits for the
SMU A questionable register are set.
Bit B1 decimal value: 2
Binary value: 0000 0010
status.questionable.instrument.SMUB
This bit is only available on Models
2602B/2604B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2636B. Set bit
indicates one or more enabled bits for the SMU B
questionable register are set.
Bit B2 decimal value: 4
B3-B15 Not used Not applicable.
As an example, to set bit B1 of the questionable status instrument summary enable register, set
status.questionable.instrument.enable = status.questionable.instrument.SMUA.
In addition to the above constants, questionableRegister can be set to the numeric equivalent of the bit to
set. To set more than one bit of the register, set operationRegister to the sum of their decimal weights. For
example, to set bits B1 and B2, set questionableRegister to 6 (which is the sum of 2 + 4).
Example
status.questionable.instrument.enable =
status.questionable.instrument.SMUA
Uses a constant to set the SMUA bit
of the questionable status
instrument summary enable register.
