8.2.11.11 STATus:ALARm:ENABle?
This command returns the Alarm Status Enable Register (see STA-
Tus:ALARm:ENABle <num> command below).
Example: STAT:ALAR:ENAB?
Response: 32
8.2.11.12 STATus:ALARm:ENABle <num>|MIN|MAX|DEF
This command sets the Alarm Status Enable Register. This register determines
which event bits of the Alarm Status Event Register affect the Alarm Status Bit
of the Status Byte Register. If any bit in the Alarm Status Event Register is set
(1) while its corresponding mask bit in the Alarm Status Enable Register is set,
the Alarm Status Bit in the Status Byte Register will be set. The value of the
<num> parameter is a number from 0 to 63 that is the sum of the bi-
nary-weighted values of each mask bit. The Alarm Status Event Register is de
-
scribed in Section 8.4.11.9, STATus:ALARm?. The following example causes
the Alarm Status Bit in the Status Byte Register to be set when a power failure
alarm has been triggered.
Example: STAT:ALAR:ENAB 32
Response: 32
8.2.11.13 STATus:MEASure?
This command reads and clears the Measure Status Event Register. The value
returned indicates the condition of each of the eight bits of the register by add
-
ing the binary-weighted values of each bit. The meaning of each bit, when set
(1), is as follows where 0 is the least significant and 7 is the most significant:
Bit 0 Channel 1 temperature measure bit.
Bit 1 Channel 1 humidity measure bit.
