STATus
The STATus subsystem reports the bit values of a Standard Operation
Status register. It enables the Status register to set a bit after a bit is set to 1
by the Standard Operation register.
Subsystem Syntax STATus
:OPERation
[:EVENt]?
:ENABle <
number>
:OPERation[:EVENt]?
STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? returns the bit value of the Operation Status
register (only bit 8 is used by the multiplexer modules).
Comments • Setting Bit 8 of the Operation Status Register: Bit 8 (Scan
Complete) is set to 1 after a scanning cycle completes. Bit 8 returns
0 after sending the
STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]? command.
• Returned Data after sending the STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?
Command: The command returns +256 if bit 8 of the Operation
Status register is set to 1. The command returns +0 if bit 8 of the
Operation Status register is set to 0.
• Related Commands: [ROUTe:]SCAN
Example Reading the Operation Status Register After a Scanning Cycle
STAT:OPER? ! Returns the bit values of the
Standard Operation Status
register. Returns +256 if bit 8 is
set to 1 or returns +0 if bit 8 is set
to 0.
:OPERation:ENABle STATus:OPERation:ENABle <number> enables the Operation Status
register to set a bit in the Status register. For RF multiplexer modules,
setting bit 8 in the Operation Status register to 1 sets bit 7 in the Status
register to 1.
Parameters

Comments • Setting Bit 7 of the Status Register:
STATus:OPERation:ENABle 256 sets bit 7 of the Status register to 1
after bit 8 of the Operation Status register is set to 1.
