Usage
enableRegister = status.system.condition
enableRegister = status.system.enable
enableRegister = status.system.event
enableRegister = status.system.ntr
enableRegister = status.system.ptr
status.system.enable = enableRegister
status.system.ntr = enableRegister
status.system.ptr = enableRegister
The status of the system summary register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set; other
values indicate various bit settings
Details
In an expanded system (TSP-Link), these attributes are used to read or write to the system summary
registers. They are set using a constant or a numeric value, but are returned as a numeric 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 B15. For example, if a value of
1.29000e+02 (which is 129) is read as the value of the condition register, the binary equivalent is
0000 0000 1000 0001. This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B7 are set.
* Least significant bit

For information about .condition, .enable, .event, .ntr, and .ptr registers, refer to Status register set
contents (on page C-1) and Enable and transition registers (on page C-19). The individual bits of this
register are defined in the following table.
