This device implements the status model defined by IEEE 488.2 with regard to the serial poll
function using the service request line.
The term “event” refers to any occurrence that generates a service request.

Service Request
Enable Register
(SRER)
The Status Byte Register contains information about the event registers and the output queue.
Required items are selected from this information by masking with the Service Request Enable
Register. When any bit selected by the mask is set, bit 6 (MSS; the Master Summary Status) of
the Status Byte Register is also set, which generates an SRQ (Service Request) message and
dispatches a service request.
