instantaneous variable status OR status of variables
Explanation:
Just a guess, based on general technical knowledge; I would tend to opt for 'status' rather than 'condition/state' etc., in view of normal usage in this sort of context.

HTH!

In reply to CJ\'s comment:
I feel that in this context, \'instantaneous\' is more likely, since this is a usually \'a moment frozen in time\', as MC so rightly suggests in \'snapshot\' below --- which may well be the more appropriate term, if it fits the wider context OK. It means \"the status of the variables AT A GIVEN INSTANT\", not the fact that the status is reported very quickly, instead of having to hang around waiting...

In technical/scientific senses, \'instantaneous\' is very common --- \"the instantaneous rate-of-change of a graph\", for example.

As Rod so rightly points out, this \'état\' could be referring to EITHER the ACTUAL status of the variables; or to a REPORT on their status.

In the latter case, \'snapshot\' probably WOULD work better; but if for example the sentence were something like \"l\'état instantanée des variables may exceed a certain value\", then the use of the word snapshot might be somewhat clumsy, IMHO

Am I making myself clear? --- I\'m not too sure! :-)

In support of the previous answer, where I was attempting to enter a URL in my agree when my agree got "entered."

Here is the URL for the Microsoft Access glossary where this term appears:
