Description

Note

The Operation Status registers provide information about the following operating

conditions:

WTG A l indicates that at least one channel of the electronic load is waiting for a

trigger to occur.

CAL A 1 indicates that the calibration constants of the channel are

presently being recalculated. Unless you are explicitly calibrating the

electronic load, this bit is always 0.

The WTG bit is used to detect if the electronic load is waiting to complete the transfer of a

pending trigger level. When the bit is set, it means that the electronic load has processed a

trigger level command (e.g., CURR:TRIG 25) but is waiting for a trigger in order to execute

that command.

Refer to the electronic load Operating Manual for information concerning Calibration

commands.

The following registers are associated with Operation Status commands:

Condition Real-time (“live”) operating status.

PTR/NTR Programmable filters that determine what

type of transition (0 to-1 or 1-to-0) in the Condition register will set

the corresponding bit in the Event register.

Event Records all channel conditions that occurred since the

last time the register was read.

Enable Mask for selecting which bits in the Event register are allowed

to be summed into the OPER (Operation Summary) bit of the Status Byte
