128
≤
<numberic value>
≤
191.
Function Sets the bits in the service request enable register. The numeric
value is converted to a binary number. The bits of the register are
set to match the bit values of the binary number.
Example
*SRE 154
sets the service request enable register bits to 10011010.
Service Request Enable Query
Syntax
*SRE?
Function Returns the contents of the service request enable register as an
integer that, when converted to a binary number, represents the bit
values of the register.
Example
*SRE?
returns 154 if the service request enable register is set to
10011010.
Read Status Byte Query
Syntax
*STB?
Function Returns the contents of the status byte register as an integer that,
when converted to a binary number, represents the bit values of the
register. The bit value for bit 6 of the register is the MSS bit value,
not the RQS bit value.
Example
*STB?
returns 170 if the status byte register is set to 10101010.
Self-‐Test Query
