Description
The Event Status Enable command is used to set the bits of the Event Status Enable
Register. See ANSI/IEEE 488.2-1987 section 11.5.1 for a complete description of the
ESE register. A value of 1 in a bit position of the ESE register enables generation of
the ESB (Event Status Bit) in the Status Byte by the corresponding bit in the ESR. If
the ESB is set in the SRE register then an interrupt will be generated. See the ESR?
command for details regarding the individual bits. The ESE register layout is:
Bit 0 - Operation Complete
Bit 1 - Request Control
Bit 2 - Query Error
Bit 3 - Device Dependent Error
Bit 4 - Execution Error
Bit 5 - Command Error
Bit 6 - User Request
Bit 7 - Power On
The Event Status Enable query reports the current contents of the Event Status Enable
Register.
