17-86 SCPI Command Reference
STATus subsystem
The STATus subsystem is used to control the status registers of the SourceMeter. The com-
mands in this subsystem are summarized in Table 17-7.
NOTE These registers and the overall status structure are fully explained in Section 14.
Read event registers
[:EVENt]?
:STATus:MEASurement[:EVENt]? Read Measurement Event Register
:STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]? Read Questionable Event Register
:STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? Read Operation Event Register
Description These query commands are used to read the contents of the status event reg-
isters. After sending one of these commands and addressing the SourceMe-
ter to talk, a value is sent to the computer. This value indicates which bits in
the appropriate register are set.
Program event enable registers
:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf>
:STATus:MEASurement:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf> Program Measurement Event Enable Register
:STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf> Program Questionable Event Enable Register
:STATus:OPERation:ENABle <NDN> or <NRf> Program Operation Event Enable Register
Parameters <NDN> = #Bxx...x Binary format (each x = 1 or 0)
#Hx Hexadecimal format (x = 0 to FFFF)
#Qx Octal format (x = 0 to 177777)
<NRf> = 0 to 65535 Decimal format
Query :ENABle? Read an enable register
Description These commands are used to program the enable registers of the status
structure. The binary equivalent of the parameter value that is sent deter-
mines which bits in the register gets set. See Section 14 for details.
