The 8650B implements a SCPI status reporting structure based on the IEEE 488.2 standard. The 8650B reporting
structure includes the mandatory IEEE 488.2 status registers. The Status Byte Register (STB) and the Event Status
Register (ESR) are required by the IEEE 488.2 standard. The commands associated with IEEE 488.2 mandatory
status registers are preceded by an asterisk (*). An additional status register, the Operation Status Register
(OPER:STAT), is implemented in the 8650B for added status monitoring ability. Figure 3-9 details the SCPI status
reporting model and shows how the hierarchy of status registers can be utilized to generate a Service Request
(SRQ) by the 8650B.
