Operation Status Group
The Operation Status registers record signals that occur during normal operation. As shown below, the
group consists of a Condition, PTR/NTR, Event, and Enable register. The outputs of the Operation Status
register group are logically-ORed into the OPERation summary bit (7) of the Status Byte register.
Register Command Description
Condition
STAT:OPER:COND?
A register that holds real-time status of the circuits being monitored. It is a
read-only register.
PTR Filter
STAT:OPER:PTR <n>
A positive transition filter that functions as described under
STAT:OPER:NTR|PTR commands in chapter 8. It is a read/write register.
NTR Filter
STAT:OPER:NTR <n>
A negative transition filter that functions as described under
STAT:OPER:NTR|PTR commands in chapter 8. It is a read/write register.
Event
STAT:OPER: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:OPER:ENAB <n>
A register that functions as a mask for enabling specific bits from the Event
register. It is a read/write register.
