4.5.3 Read and Set Event Status Enable Register
This command programs the Event Status Enable Register (ESE). The programming determines
which events of the Event Status Register (ESR) set the Event Status Bit (ESB) of the Status Byte
Register (STB). A "1" in the bit position enables the corresponding event. All of the enabled
events of the ESE are logically OR’d to cause the ESB of the STB to be set.
Command Syntax: *ESE <NR1>
Example:
*ESE 255
Query Syntax: *ESE?
Return Parameter: <NR1>
Related Commands: *ESR?, *STB?
4.5.4 Read Status Byte Register
This query reads the Status Byte Register (STB), defined in Table 4.7, which contains the Master
Status Summary (MSS) bit, Event Status (ESB) bit, and the Message Available (MAV) bit.
Unlike reading ESR, the STB is not cleared after it is read. The MAV bit is cleared at power on
or by *CLS.
Query Syntax: *STB?
Example: *STB?
Return Parameter: <NR1> (Register value)
Related Commands: *ESR?, *ESE
