Status Reporting in SCPI
The status reporting implemented in the XG is primarily dictated
by the SCPI standard. This section provides a high level review of
the standard status reporting required by SCPI and then covers the
XG specific reporting that is implemented within the SCPI status
reporting framework.
Figure 5-18 is taken from the SCPI 99 standard and shows the
minimum status reporting requirements for a SCPI compliant
device.
Throughout this chapter, figures are used to explain the
relationship between the registers, enable/disabling register and
their summary bits. The figures use four logical symbols to
demonstrate the relationship between the register. The “!” block
represents logical not or complement of the input signal. The “&”
block represents the logical AND operator. The “|” block
represents the logical OR operation. The “+” block represents the
logical OR of all the bits from the enable register. The model has
several ellipses which are there to indicate that the pattern of logic
shown is repeated for all bits in the registers.
