SBE
Summary Bit Enable register
Description
This command provides access to the Summary Bit Enable register.
The bits in this register define which bits of the Condition (CON)
register will set the Major Fault and Minor Fault summary bits in
the Status Byte (STB) and the Status Register (STA). Setting one bit
by writing its bit weight into the SBE register enables its equivalent
bit in the CON register. The individual bits are defined below. More
than one bit can be enabled by writing a value that is a sum of the
individual bit weights.

The query form of this command will either return a numeric or a
text response depending on the TEXT ON/OFF and STATXT
ON/OFF settings. The text response will return a string containing
the Text On Response Message as listed above for each bit that is
set. These will be separated by commas. If no bits are set “CLEAR”
will be returned.
Command Syntax
SBE <NR1>
Example
SBE 12
This will write the value of 12 into the SBE register. This enables
bit 2 (Over Power) and bit 3 (Over Current) in the CON register so
that if either is set the relevant summary bit(s) in the STB and STA
register will be set.
