RS-232C reads the status bytes to find out the status of the instrument.
The instrument adopts the IEEE488.1-1987 defined status model for parts
related to the serial polling performed by the service request function. A trigger
for generating a service request is called an event.
The Status Byte Register contains information about the event registers and the
output queue. Required items are selected from this information by masking with
the Service Request Enable Register. When any bit selected by the mask is set,
bit 6 (MSS; the Master Summary Status) of the Status Byte Register is also set,
which generates an SRQ (Service Request) message and dispatches a service
request.
