STATXT Status Text
Description
This command is used to turn off descriptive responses for the
CON?, ERR?, LAT?, SBE?, SDN?, SRQ? and STA? queries
without affecting other Text Mode responses. This allows the status
related registers to be read in an easily decoded numeric form while
all other queries retain their descriptive responses. This differs from
the TEXT ON/OFF command in that it only applies to the status
related queries while TEXT ON/OFF applies to all queries. Both the
STATXT and TEXT must be on for descriptive responses to the
above queries.
Unlike most other commands, the load will retain its STATXT
setting even after powering it down.
