Elements of SCPI Commands
Status Reporting
The HP 53131A/132A status registers conform to the SCPI and IEEE 488.2
standards.
Figure 3-6 shows all the status system register groups and queues in the Counter.
This is a high level drawing that does not show all the registers that are contained
in each group. It is intended as a guide to the bits used in each of these register
groups to monitor the Counter ' s status. Note that besides the Operation Status and
the Questionable Data/Signal Register groups, a summary of the Standard Status
Structure Registers (defined by IEEE 488.2-1987) is shown.
Refer to the section in this chapter titled "How to Program the Counter for Status
Reporting" and the flowchart in Figure 3-10 for detailed information on
programming the status reporting system.
