Status Byte Register
The Status Byte Register is the primary status reporting register in the status reporting hierarchy of the 8650B.
The Status Byte Register is an 8-bit register that represents a summary of other registers such as the Event
Status Register, the Operation Status Register, and the Output Buffer. See Table 3-4 for a bit-by-bit explaination
of the Status Byte Register.
The bits in the Status Byte Register are latched meaning once a bit is set, clearing the condition does not clear
the bit. Performing the *STB? query clears the bits in the Status Byte Register. The exception is that the RQS bit
is not cleared. In this case, the entire register can be cleared by sending the Clear Status (*CLS) command.
Sending *RST does not clear the register.
The Status Byte Register is ultimately used to generate a Service Request when the RQS bit (bit 6) is set. A
Service Request, SRQ, is a mechanism that enables the 8650B to asynchronously notify the host computer or
controller that certain events or conditions have occurred.
The Status Byte Register has an associated enable register. The Service Request Enable Register (SRE) is
effectively the enable mask of the Status Byte Register. The Service Request Enable Register controls which bits
in the Status Byte Register set the RQS bit (bit 6). The Request Service bit, RQS, will in turn assert a Service
Request, SRQ. A Service Request is generated anytime bit 6 (RQS) of the Status Byte Register is set high.

Event Status
Set when if any of the bits of the ESR are set provided they
are enabled by the corresponding bit of the ESE register.

Request Service, RQS bit
Set when if any of the bits of the STB are set provided they
are enabled by the corresponding bit of the SRE register. A
Service Request is generated when this bit is set.

Operation Status
Set when if any of the bits of the Operation Status Register
are set provided they are enabled by the corresponding bit
of the Operation Status Enable register.
