Reading the registers
You can read any register in the Status Model. The response is a decimal value that indicates which
bits in the register are set. See
(on page D-9) for information on how to
convert the decimal value to bits.
You can use the query commands in the
(on page 7-94) or send common
commands to read registers. For example, you can send the following command to read the Status
Enable Register of the Standard Event Register:
*ese?

Registers in the status model can be cleared using commands or by instrument actions. When a
