ESR? Status Register Structure
Bit Value Name Description Note
15...8 0 - Reserved by IEEE 488.2.
7 128 PON 1 - Power OFF-to-ON
transition has occurred.
The Power On (PON) bit is always turned on (1) when the
unit is powered up.
6 64 URQ 1 - Not used. On older Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes, this bit reports soft
key inputs. It does not apply to WaveAce oscilloscopes.
5 32 CME 1 - CoMmand parser Error
has been detected.
The CoMmand parser Error bit (CME) is set true (1)
whenever a command syntax error is detected. The CME bit
has an associated CoMmand parser Register (CMR) which
specifies the error code. Refer to the query CMR? for
further details.
4 16 EXE 1 - EXecution Error
detected.
The EXecution Error bit (EXE) is set true (1) when a
command cannot be executed due to some device
condition (for example, the oscilloscope in local state) or a
semantic error. The EXE bit has an associated Execution
Error Register (EXR) that specifies the error code. Refer to
query EXR? for further details.
