Standard Event Status Register Group
The Standard Event Status Register Group is a specific implementation of the
status register model described in the Status Register Structure Overview section.
The conditions monitored by the Standard Event Status Register Group are
defined by the IEEE 488.2-1987 Standard. The Standard assigns specific Test Set
conditions to specific bits in the Standard Event Status Register. Table 19 on page
5 257 details the Standard Event Status Register bit assignments and their
meanings. The Standard Event Status Register Group is accessed using IEEE
488.2 Common Commands. The Standard Event Status Register Group includes
an Event Register, an Enable Register, and a Summary Bit. Refer to the “Status
Reporting Structure Overview” on page 239 for a discussion of status register
operation. Figure 9 shows the structure and IEEE 488.2 Common Commands used
to access the Standard Event Status Register Group.
