STATus Subsystem
STATus Subsystem
The following diagram shows the entire Status Register Subsystem implementation of the X Series
instruments.
Detailed Description
The STATus subsystem remote commands set and query the status hardware registers. This
system of registers monitors various events and conditions in the instrument. Software written to
control the instrument may need to monitor some of these events and conditions.
All status register commands are sequential. Most commands can be started immediately and will
overlap with any existing commands that are already running. This is not true of status commands. All the
commands in the spectrum analyzer are assumed to be overlapped unless a command description
specifically says that it is sequential.
