6.3.1 Status Reporting
Status reporting system is configured using two types of registers. An Event Register and a
Summary register. The summary register is known as the Status Byte register and records
high-level summary information acquired by the event registers.
An Event register report defined conditions or messages at each bit. The bits are latched and
remain at an active state until the register is either Read or Cleared. Reading the event
register automatically clears the register and sets all bits to inactive state or 0. When
querying an event register the information is returned as a decimal number representing the
binary-weighted sum of all bits within the register.
The Enable registers bits represent the selection of bits that will be logically-ORed together to
form the summary bit in the status byte. The *CLS command will not clear the enable
