Common Commands

*CLS

This command causes the following actions (see chapter 7 for the descriptions of all registers):

υClears the Standard Event Status, Operation Status Event, and Questionable Status Event registers

υClears the Status Byte and the Error Queue

υIf *CLS immediately follows a program message terminator (<NL>), then the output queue and the MAV bit are also cleared.

Command Syntax *CLS

Parameters None

*ESE

This command programs the Standard Event Status Enable register bits. The programming determines which events of the Standard Event Status Event register (see *ESR?) are allowed to set the ESB (Event Summary Bit) of the Status Byte register. A "1" in the bit position enables the corresponding event. All of the enabled events of the Standard Event Status Event Register are logically ORed to cause the Event Summary Bit (ESB) of the Status Byte Register to be set. The query reads the Standard Event The query reads the Standard Event Status Enable register.

CAUTION: If *PSC is programmed to 0, the *ESE command causes a write cycle to nonvolatile memory. Nonvolatile memory has a finite maximum number of write cycles. Programs that repeatedly cause write cycles to nonvolatile memory can eventually exceed the maximum number of write cycles and cause the memory to fail.
