*ESE
Loads a byte into the Event Status Enable Register, described under "Checking 5790A
Status."
Parameter
The decimal equivalent of the 8-bit binary number to load into the register. Each binary
digit in the register has a meaning as described in this section under "Checking 5790A
Status". You can also send a binary, octal, or hexadecimal number if you precede the
number with #b, #o, or #h, respectively. (A number without a preceding designator is
taken as decimal.)

*ESE 147
Sets the register to 10010011 (128+16+2+1), enabling only bits 7 (PON), 4 (EXE), 1
(RQC), and 0 (OPC).
*ESE?
Reads the contents of Event Status Enable register, described under "Checking 5790A
Status."
Parameter
None
Example
*ESE?
Returns "140" if bits 2 (QYE), 3 (DDE), and 7 (PON) are enabled (1) and the rest of the
bits are disabled (0). (See "Checking 5790A Status" for details.)
*ESR?
Returns the byte from the Event Status Register and clears the register. The ESR is
described under "Checking 5790A Status."
Parameter
None
Response
(Integer) Decimal equivalent of the register byte.
Example
*ESR?
Returns "140" if bits 2 (QYE), 3 (DDE), and 7 (PON) are set (1) and the rest of the bits
