Response
The range is 0 to 65535.
The response value represents the sum of the binary-weighted values of the
register. The value of unused bits is zero.
Note that some bits, those which are “event-only”, have no corresponding
conditions.
Theory
A condition register continuously monitors the hardware and firmware status
(that is, the operating conditions) of the instrument.
Conditions register bits are updated in real time—there is no latching or
buffering.
Reading/Querying a condition register does not change its contents.
At powerup, the conditions registers are cleared.
