Status Registers
Overview
Release 2.1
79
Status Byte
The Status byte register contains the STB and RQS(MSS) messages as defined in
488.1. The user can read the status byte register using a 488.1 serial poll or the 488.2
*STB? common command. If the user sends a serial poll, bit 6 will respond with
Request Service (RSQ). The value of the status byte is not altered by a serial poll.
The *STB? query causes the device to send the contents of the Status Byte Register
and the Master Summary Status (MSS) summary message. The *STB? query does
not alter the status byte, MSS, or RQS.
