Agilent X-Series Status Byte Register Subsystem VIs

[dan_tuq]

Hello!

I am looking to see if there exists LV code to identify the status of the STATus:QUEStionable event register of the Agilent X-Series Status Byte Register Subsystem? I'm not exactly sure if I can simply query the instrumentation with the SCPI command "STAT:QUES:REF?"using a VISA Write followed by a Read. This being new to me, I think you must configure specific bits of the register (i.e., enable a particular bit[s], using the event enable register) before you can proceed with the query? At any rate, it's a proper sequencing set of commands which is required, just like mostly everything I presume:)

Thank you in advance for your efforts!

Sincerely,

dan

send *esr?  to return the event register and *ese? to determine which events are enabled

"Using a VISA Write followed by a Read?: "  --Yes this is the correct approach

The Programmer's guide pg 32 Shows the STATus: subsytem commands to enable the event registers
