Questionable Status Group

The Questionable Status registers record signals that indicate abnormal operation of the AC
source. As shown in Figure 7-1, the group consists of the same type of registers as the Status
Operation group.

Register

Command

Description

Condition

STAT:QUES:COND?

A register that holds real-time status of the
circuits being monitored. It is a read-only
register.

PTR Filter

STAT:QUES:PTR

A positive transition filter that functions as
described under STAT:QUES:NTR|PTR
commands in chapter 4. It is a read/write
register.

NTR Filter

STAT:QUES:NTR

A negative transition filter that functions as
described under STAT:QUES:NTR|PTR
commands in chapter 4. It is a read/write
register.

Event

STAT:QUES:EVEN?

A register that latches any condition that is
passed through the PTR or NTR filters. It is a
read-only register that is cleared when read.

Enable

STAT:QUES:ENAB

A register that functions as a mask for enabling
specific bits from the Event register. It is a
read/write register.

Table 7-3: Questionable Status registers

The outputs of the Questionable Status group are logically-ORed into the QUEStionable summary
bit (3) of the Status Byte register.

Note: If the AC source is in the three-phase mode, each signal that is fed into the Questionable

Status Condition register is logically-ORed from three corresponding status signals that
originate from each phase. Figure 7-1
illustrates this for the OV bit; the same illustration
also applies to the other bits in the Condition register.
