5.4 SCPI Command Description
5.4.1 SCPI Condition Register
You can obtain the state of the power supply and read parameters from the operation register. The different states
of the power supply can be read from 7 condition registers. These registers are status byte register, standard event
register, quest condition register and operation status register. The status byte register stores the information of 3
other registers. The following table provides the details on each register’s meaning.
