_ Standard Event Register
_ Operation Event Register
_ Questionable Event Register
_ Error Queue
Command syntax
*CLS
Parameters None
1.2 *ESE <NRf> - Event Enable
This command programs the Standard Event Status Enable register bits. The programming determines which events of
the Standard Event Status Event register (see *ESR?) are allowed to set the ESB (Event Summary Bit) of the Status
Byte register. A "1" in the bit position enables the corresponding event. All of the enabled events of the Standard Event
Status Event Register are logically ORed to cause the Event Summary Bit (ESB) of the Status Byte Register to be set.
See chapter “Programming the Status Registers” for descriptions of the Standard Event Status registers.
The query reads the Standard Event Status Enable register.
