STATus:OPER:COND? returns the state of the condition register in the
Operation Status group. The state represents conditions which are part of an
instrument’s operation.
Comments • Bit 8 in the register is used by the System Instrument (Command
Module) to indicate when an interrupt set up by the DIAG:INTerrupt
commands has been acknowledged.
• Reading the condition register does not change the setting of bit 8. Bit 8
is cleared by the DIAG:INT:RESP? command.
• Related Commands: STAT:OPER:ENABle, STAT:OPER:EVENt?
