Accessing the Standard Event Status Register Group’s
Registers
The following sections show the syntax and give programming
examples (using the IBASIC programming language) for the Common
Commands used to access the Standard Event Status Register Group’s
registers.
3 8 Device
Dependent
Error
1 = A Test Set dependent error has occurred. This
means that some Test Set operation did not execute
properly due to some internal condition, such as
overrange. This bit indicates that the error was not
a command, query, or execution error.
2 4 Query Error 1 = An error has occurred while trying to read the
Test Set’s Output Queue. The following events
cause a query error:
• An attempt is being made to read data from the
Output Queue when no data is present or
pending.
• Data in the Output Queue has been lost. An
example of this would be Output Queue
overflow.
12Request
Control
1 = The Test Set is requesting permission to become
the Active Controller on the HP-IB bus.
01Operation
Complete
1 = The Test Set has completed all selected pending
operations and is ready to accept new commands.
This bit is only generated in response to the *OPC
IEEE 488.2 Common Command.
