The Standard Operation Register

The Standard Operation register group is used to report when the instrument is scanning. Any or all of these conditions can be reported to the Standard Operation summary bit through the enable register. To set the enable register mask, you must write a decimal value to the register using the STATus:OPER:ENABle command.
