- The SCPI Status Registers
- Caution
- 1 Send a device clear message to clear the power supply’s output buffer (e.g., CLEAR 705).
- 2 Clear the event registers with the *CLS (clear status) command.
- 3 Set up the enable register masks. Execute the *ESE command to set up the Standard Event register and the *SRE command for the Status Byte.
- 4 Send the *OPC? (operation complete query) command and enter the result to ensure synchronization.
- 5 Enable your bus controller’s IEEE-488 SRQ interrupt.
- 1 Send a device clear message to clear the power supply’s output buffer (e.g., CLEAR 705).
- 2 Clear the event registers with the *CLS (clear status) command.
- 3 Enable the “operation complete” bit (bit 0) in the Standard Event register by executing the *ESE 1 command.
- 4 Send the *OPC? (operation complete query) command and enter the result to ensure synchronization.
- 5 Execute your command string to program the desired configuration, and then execute the *OPC (operation complete) command as th...
- 6 Use a serial poll to check to see when bit 5 (standard event) is set in the Status Byte summary register. You could also configure the power supply for an SRQ interrupt by sending *SRE 32 (Status Byte enable register, bit 5).
