www.vxitech.com SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The VM4016 is a high-performance Analog Comparator module which has been designed to monitor analog signals and cause VXIbus interrupts to occur when programmed input limits have been exceeded. The instrument uses the message-based word serial interface for programming and data movement, as well as supporting direct register access for very high-speed data retrieval. The VM4016 command set conforms with the SCPI standard for consis

VXI Technology, Inc. Regardless of whether the VM4016 is configured with other VM4016 modules or with other VMIPmodules, each group of 16 channels is treated as an independent instrument in the VXIbus chassis and, as such, each group has its own FAIL and ACCESS light. The FAIL LED is a Power/Fault indicator. When normal power up conditions exist, the FAIL LED will illuminate green. When a power on fault condition occurs, the FAIL FAIL ACC/ LED will illuminate red. The ACC/ERR LED

The FETCh:CONDition query returns the 16-bit value that represents the current conditioned (masked and inverted) state of the inputs. It is important to note that this information is also available at the VXIbus register level at offset 0x28. FETCh:CONDitioned? No query parameters. EXAMPLES FETCh:CONDitioned?
