This query returns an integer value of 1 if the status of the test set's protocol logging data source is either:

  • IDLE - A real-time protocol logging session has been established between the test set and the protocol logging software, but protocol logging is not currently taking place.
  • ACT (Active) - Both a real-time session and a logging session have been established and data is being captured by the protocol logging software.

If the state of the test set's protocol logging data source is not one of the above, this query will "hang" until a transition to one of these states occurs, or a bus time-out or device clear terminates the query attempt.
