In addition to the above constants,
requestEventRegister
can be set to the decimal equivalent of the bit(s)
set. When more than one bit of the register is set,
requestEventRegister
contains the sum of their decimal
weights. For example, if 129 is returned, bits B0 and B7 are set (1 + 128).

Example
requestEventRegister = status.request_event
print(requestEventRegister)
Reads the status request event register.
Sample output:
1.02
Converting this output (129) to its binary
equivalent yields:
1000 0001
Therefore, this output indicates that the set bits
of the status request event register are presently
B0 (MSB) and B7 (OSB).
