* Least significant bit 
** Most significant bit 
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).  
 
 
status.measurement.enable = status.measurement.BAV 
Sets the BAV bit of the measurement 
event enable register. 
Also see 
Measurement summary bit (Measurement event register) (on page C-4) 
 
status.node_enable 
This attribute stores the system node enable register.  
 
Usage 
nodeEnableRegister = status.node_enable 
status.node_enable = nodeEnableRegister 
 
The status of the system node enable register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set (also 
send 0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various bit settings 
 
Details 
This attribute is used to read or write to the system node enable register. Reading the system node 
enable register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the value of this attribute indicates which 
register bits are set. In the binary equivalent, the least significant bit is bit B0, and the most significant 
bit is bit B7. For example, if a value of 1.29000e+02 (which is 129) is read as the value of this 
register, the binary equivalent is 1000 0001. This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B7 are set.
