3. Query operation register to check if either D5, D8, D9 or D10 are set.

STAT:OPER?
The system response: 288 (0 x 120 – VXI Triggers set and VXI Monitor)

4. Since the VXI Trigger bit was set, now query the Trigger register.

STAT:OPER:VXIT?
The system response: 16 (0 x 10 – TTL4 Trigger occurred).

5. Query the time that TTL Trigger line 4 triggered.

STAT:OPER:VXIT:TRIG? TTL4
The system response: 0,34,30 (Trigger occurred on line TTL4 34.5 minutes
after power on).

6. When the “STAT:OPER?” query was performed, the VXI Monitor bit was

also set. Use the following command to examine specifically what event
occurred.
STAT:OPER:VXIM?
The system response: 3 (BERR and SYSFAIL are set).

7. STAT:OPER:VXIM:BERR?

The system response: A16 (Bus Error occurred in A16 address space).

8. STAT:OPER:VXIM:SYSF?

The system response: 1, 30, 0 (SYSFAIL occurred one and one-half hours
after power-up)

NOTE. If this test were run with the VXI Monitor enable register set to zero
(“STAT:OPER:VXIM:ENABLE 0”), the VXI Monitor bit would not be set in the
operation register. However, if the VXI Monitor enable register was set to 0 x F
(“STAT:OPER:VXIT:ENABLE 15”), then only triggers on TTL0, TTL1, TTL2
and TTL3 lines will cause the VXIT trigger bit to be set in the operation register
(“STAT:OPER?”). The VXI Trigger register (“STAT:OPER:VXIT?”) will always
show all Trigger lines that are triggered, regardless of the setting in the enable
register.
