Syntax
STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
Description
This command queries the condition register for the Questionable Data Register group. This is a read-only register and the bits are not cleared when you read the register.
| For more information on the Status System for the instrument, see Status System Introduction. |
Used With:
- 34901A 20 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
- 34902A 16 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
- 34907A Multifunction Module (digital input and totalizer channels only)
- 34908A 40 Channel Single-Ended Multiplexer Module
Remarks
- The condition register bits reflect the current condition. If a condition is no longer true, the corresponding bit is cleared in the condition register.
- The following table lists the bit definitions for the Questionable Data Register.
Bit # Bit Name Decimal Value Definition 0-10 Not Used 1-1024 (Always returns 0) 11 Totalizer Overflow 2048 A totalizer has counted past its limit. 12 Memory Overflow 4096 The reading memory has overflowed. 13-15 Not Used 8192-32768 (Always returns 0)
- A Factory Reset (*RST command) clears all bits in the condition register.
Return Format
The query reads the questionable condition register and returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register (see table above). For example, if bit 11 (decimal value = 2048) and bit 12 (decimal value = 4096) are set, this command will return "6144".
Examples
The following command reads the condition register (bit 11 is set).
