Boonton 4540 Series RF Power Meter
Remote Operation 5-62
5.6.14 STATus Commands
The STATus command subsystem enables you to control the SCPI defined status reporting structures. The user may
examine the status or control status reporting of the power meter by accessing the Device, Operation and Questionable status
groups Note that GPIB commands may be used to monitor the instrument’s IEEE-488.2 registers (See GPIB - IEEE-488.2
Commands).
STATus:DEVice:CONDition?
Description: Return the current value of the Device Condition register. The following table shows the bit
assignments in the register. These bits are updated by the instrument in real time, and can change
in response to changes in the instrument’s operating condition.
Bit Value Definition
0 1 Not used always returns 0.
1 2 Channel 1 Connected 1 = A sensor or probe is connected to channel 1.
2 4 Channel 2 Connected 1 = A sensor or probe is connected to channel 2.
3 8 Channel 1 Error 1 = Channel 1 is reporting an error.
4 16 Channel 2 Error 1 = Channel 2 is reporting an error.
5 32 Shape Cal 1 1 = Channel 1 is using a CW shape cal table.
6 64 Shape Cal 2 1 = Channel 2 is using a CW shape cal table.
7 128 Smart Cal 1 1 = Channel 1 is using a CW smart cal table.
8 256 Smart Cal 2 1 = Channel 2 is using a CW smart cal table.
9 512 Auto Cal 1 1 = Channel 1 is using an auto cal table.
10 1024 Auto Cal 2 1 = Channel 2 is using an auto cal table.
11 2048 Not used always returns 0.
12 4096 Not used always returns 0.
13 8192 Key Press 1 = A key has been pressed.
14 16384 Not used always returns 0.
15 32768 Not used always returns 0.
Syntax: STATus:DEVice:CONDition?
Returns: 16-bit register value (0 to 32767)
Valid Modes: Any
STATus:DEVice:ENABle
Description: Sets or returns the Device Enable register, which contains the bit mask that defines which true
conditions in the Device Status Event register will be reported in the Device Summary bit of the
instrument Status Byte. If any bit is 1 in the Device Enable register and its corresponding Device
Event bit is true, the Device Status summary bit will be set.
Syntax: STATus:DEVice:ENABle
Argument: = 0 to 32767
Valid Modes: Any
