Common Commands

*ESR?

The *ESR (event status register) query returns the value of the event status register.

Syntax*ESR?

Description When you read the standard event status register, the value returned is the total of the bit weights of all of the bits that are set to one at the time you read the byte. The following table shows each bit in the event status register and its bit weight. The register is cleared when it is read.
