Bit

Description

0

A 1 in this bit position indicates that all pending operations were completed
following execution of the *OPC command.

1

This bit is for GPIB handshaking to request control. Currently it is set to 0
because there are no implementations where the spectrum analyzer
controls another instrument.

2

A 1 in this bit position indicates that a query error has occurred. Query
errors have SCPI error numbers from

499 to

400.

3

A 1 in this bit position indicates that a device dependent error has occurred.
Device dependent errors have SCPI error numbers from

399 to

300 and 1

to 32767.

4

A 1 in this bit position indicates that an execution error has occurred.
Execution errors have SCPI error numbers from

299 to

200.

5

A 1 in this bit position indicates that a command error has occurred.
Command errors have SCPI error numbers from

199 to

100.

6

A 1 in this bit position indicates that the LOCAL key has been pressed. This
is true even if the instrument is in local lockout mode.

7

A 1 in this bit position indicates that the instrument has been turned off
and then on.

The standard event status register is used to determine the specific event that set bit 5 in the
status byte register. To query the standard event status register, send the command *ESR?. The
response will be the decimal sum of the bits which are enabled (set to 1). For example, if bit
