Output Queue
The output queue stores the oscilloscope-to-controller responses that are
generated by certain instrument commands and queries. The output queue
generates the Message Available summary bit when the output queue
contains one or more bytes. This summary bit sets the MAV bit (bit 4) in the
Status Byte Register.
The output queue may be read with the HP Basic ENTER statement.
Message Queue
The message queue contains the text of the last message written to the
advisory line on the screen of the oscilloscope. The length of the
oscilloscope’s message queue is 1. The queue is read with the SYSTEM:DSP?
query. Note that messages sent with the SYSTem:DSP command do not set
the MSG status bit in the Status Byte Register.
Key Queue
The key queue contains the key codes for the last 10 keys pressed on the
front panel. This queue is first in, first out. If the key queue overflows, the
oldest key codes are discarded as additional keys are pressed. The key queue
is read with the SYSTEM:KEY? query.
Clearing Registers and Queues
The *CLS common command clears all event registers and all queues except
the output queue. If *CLS is sent immediately following a program message
terminator, the output queue is also cleared.
