*ESE
This command sets or queries the bits in the Event Status Enable Register (ESER). The ESER is an eight-bit
register that determines which bits in the Standard Event Status Register (SESR) will set the Event Summary Bit
(ESB) in the Status Byte Register (SBR).

Status
Syntax
*ESE <NR1>
*ESE?
Arguments
<NR1>
A value from 0 through 255. The binary bits of the ESER are set according to this value.
The power-on default for the ESER is
0
if the
*PSC
command is set to
1
. If the
*PSC
command is set
to
0
, the ESER maintains its value through a power cycle.
Returns
The query form of this command returns a string that represents a binary value ESER. For example,
the *
ESE?
command might return the string
186
, indicating that the ESER contains the binary value
10111010.
Example
*ESE 145
Sets the ESER to binary 10010001, which enables the PON, EXE, and OPC bits.

command
might return the value
