Baseband Operation Condition Register

The Baseband Operation Condition Register continuously monitors the hardware and firmware status
of the signal generator. Condition registers are read only.

Baseband Operation Transition Filters (negative and positive)

The Baseband Operation Transition Filters specify which types of bit state changes in the condition
register set corresponding bits in the event register. Changes can be positive (0 to 1) or negative (1
to 0).

Bit

Description

0

Baseband 1 Busy. A 1 in this position indicates the signal generator baseband is active.

1

Baseband 1 Communicating. A 1 in this bit position indicates that the signal generator baseband generator is
handling data IO.

2–14

Unused. This bit position is always set to 0.

15

Always 0.

Query:

STATus:OPERation:BASeband:CONDition?

Response:

The decimal sum of the bits set to 1

Example:

The decimal value 2 is returned. The decimal sum = 2 (bit 1).

Commands:

STATus:OPERation:BASeband:NTRansition

(negative transition), or

STATus:OPERation:BASeband:PTRansition

(positive transition), where

is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.
