Status and Events
This section provides details about the status information and events the arbi-
trary/function generator reports.
Status Reporting Structure
The arbitrary/function generator status reporting functions conform to IEEE-488.2
and SCPI standards. Use the status reporting function to check for instrument
errors and to identify the types of events that have occurred on the instrument.
Figure 4-1 shows an outline of the instrument error and event reporting function.
The error and event reporting system consists of the following three blocks:
„ Standard/Event Status
„ Operation Status
„ Questionable Status
The operations processed in these blocks are summarized in status bytes, which
provide the error and event data.
