Status Register
Structure

Each status register (excluding the status byte
register) is divided into a number of register
structures:

Condition register

Positive transition register

Negative transition register

Event Register

Event Enable Register

Condition
Registers

The condition registers report the state of the
GSP-930. Condition registers can only be read.

PTR Registers

The positive transistion registers are used to
filter for events that occur from a negative to a
positive transition.

NTR Registers

The negative transition registers are used to
filter for events that occur from a positive to
negative transistion.

Event Registers

The PTR/NTP registers dictate the type
transistion conditions that will set the
corresponding bits in the event registers. The
event registers can only be read. Reading an
event register will clear it.

Event Enable
Registers

The event enable registers determine which
events in the corresponding event registers will
set the summary bits in a higher-order register.
