Bit No.
Meaning
0
Operation Complete
This bit is set on receipt of the command *OPC after all previous commands have been executed.
1
Request Control
This bit is set if the instrument requests the controller function. This is the case when a hardcopy
is sent to a printer or a plotter.
2
Query Error
This bit is set if either the controller wants to read data from the instrument without having sent a
query, or if it does not fetch requested data and sends new instructions to the instrument instead.
The cause is often a query which is faulty and hence cannot be executed.
3
Device-Dependent Error
This bit is set if a device-dependent error occurs. An error message with a number between -300
and -399 or a positive error number, which describes the error in greater detail, is entered into the
error queue (see).
4
Execution Error
This bit is set if a received command is syntactically correct, but cannot be performed for other
reasons. An error message with a number between -200 and -300, which describes the error in
greater detail, is entered into the error queue (see).
5
Command Error
This bit is set if a command which is undefined or syntactically incorrect is received. An error
message with a number between -100 and -200, which describes the error in greater detail, is
entered into the error queue (see).
6
User Request
This bit is set on pressing the LOCAL key, i. e. when the instrument is switched over to manual
control.
7
Power On(supply voltage on)
This bit is set when the instrument is switched on.

The R&S OSP does not use the STATus:QUEStionable register:
6.4.3 Application of the Status Reporting System
The purpose of the status reporting system is to monitor the status of one or several
devices in a system. To do this and react appropriately, the controller must receive and
evaluate the information of all devices. The following standard methods are used:
● Query of an Instrument Status by means of commands
● Query of Error Queue
