DDE

1 - Device Dependent

(specific) Error occurred.

The Device specific Error (DDE) is set true (1) whenever a

hardware failure has occurred at power-up or at execution

time, such as a channel overload condition, or a trigger or

timebase circuit defect. The origin of the failure can be

localized with the DDR? query.

QYE

1 - QuerY Error occurred.

The QuerY Error bit (QYE) is set true (1) whenever (a) an

attempt is made to read data from the Output Queue when

no output is either present or pending, (b) data in the

Output Queue has been lost, (c) both output and input

buffers are full (deadlock state), (d) an attempt is made by

the controller to read before having sent an <END>, (e) a

command is received before the response to the previous

query was read (output buffer flushed).

RQC

0 - Oscilloscope never

ReQuests bus Control.

The ReQuest Control bit (RQC) is always false (0), as the

oscilloscope has no GPIB controlling capability.

OPC

0 - OPeration Complete bit

not used.

The OPeration Complete bit (OPC) is set true (1) whenever

*OPC has been received, since commands and queries are

strictly executed in sequential order. The oscilloscope starts

processing a command only when the previous command

has been entirely executed

STATUS - *OPC

The *OPC (OPeration Complete) command sets to true the OPC bit (bit 0) in the Standard Event Status

Register (ESR).
The *OPC? query always responds with the ASCII character 1 because the oscilloscope only responds to

the query when the previous commands are entirely executed. Since *OPC? executes only when

processing is complete, it is recommended for synchronization purposes.
