Returns the integer value of the Operation Condition Register. The
query is supported but will always return “0” indicating operational
condition.

C

:ENABle

conditions to be reported in the summary bit of the Operation
Condition Register. Values are written and queried but have no
effect on the Operation Condition Register.

C

:ENABle?

Returns the value of the current mask if the Operation Event
Register.

C

:EVENt?

Returns the integer value of the Operation Event Register. This
query is supported but always returns a value of “0” indicating
