STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
returns the value of the Questionable Status
Condition Register. Reading the register does not affect its contents. Since only
two bits are used in the HP E1418A and both those bits are defined to be events, this
command always returns
0
and is included for compatibility purposes.
Parameters
Returns: 16-bit signed integer (int16).
Comments
•
Bit 8 of this register (decimal 256) indicates the calibration condition. Bit 9 of
this register (decimal 512) indicates the trigger-ignored event.
•
*RST Condition: clears all conditions.
•
*CLS
and
STATus:PRESet
do not affect bits in the Questionable Status Condition
Register.
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle <
mask
>
specifies which bits of the Questionable
Event Register are OR’d together to create the Questionable Data bit (bit 3) in the
Status Byte Summary Register.

Comments
•
Only bits 8 and 9 of the Questionable Data Register are used or defined. Bit 8
indicates a questionable calibration and bit 9 indicates a trigger was ignored.
•
Either bit 8 or bit 9 can be used to generate an SRQ interrupt. Use the
*SRE <
mask
>
common command to set the enable mask for the Status Byte Register to include the
Questionable Data bit (bit 3) in the Request for Service bit (bit 6). The request for
Service bit (bit 6) is used to generate the SRQ interrupt.
•
The non-decimal numeric forms are the #H, #Q, or #B formats specified by
IEEE-488.2.
•
*RST
clears all conditions.
•
*CLS
and
STATus:PRESet
do not affect bits in the Questionable Status Condition
Register.
