Agilent Technologies E1301B, E1300B user manual Output 70900*ESE?, Enter 70900A, Output 70900*ESR?

*ESE? Standard Event Status Enable Query. Returns the weighted sum of all enabled (unmasked) bits in the Standard Event Status Register.

Example	10 OUTPUT 70900;"*ESE?"	Sends status enable query
	20 ENTER 70900;A	Places response in variable
	30 PRINT A	Prints response

40END

*ESR? Standard Event Status Register Query. Returns the weighted sum of all set bits in the Standard Event Status Register. After reading the register, *ESR? clears the register. The events recorded in the Standard Event Status Register are independent of whether or not those events are enabled with the *ESE command.

Example	10 OUTPUT 70900;"*ESR?"	Sends Standard Event Status
		Register query
	20 ENTER 70900;A	Places response in variable
	30 PRINT A	Prints response

40END

*GMC? < name_string> Get Macro Query. Returns arbitrary block response data which contains the command or command sequence defined by name_string. The command sequence will be prefixed with characters which indicate the number of characters that follow the prefix.

Example	10 OUTPUT 70900;"*GMC? ’LIST’"	ask for definition of macro
		from *DMC example
	20 ENTER 70900;Cmds$	enter into Cmds$ the definition
		of the macro "LIST"
	30 PRINT Cmds$	Cmds$= # 214VXI:CONF:

DLIS?

40 END

In this case, the prefix consists of "# 214". The 2 says to expect two

character-counting digits. The 14 says that 14 characters of data follow. Had the returned macro been shorter, such as # 15*EMC?, we would read this as 1 counting digit indicating 5 data characters.
