8.7.3 Descriptions of Commands
The function of each command as well as an example of each is listed below.
8.7.3.1 *CLS
Clears all status registers and the error queue. Specically, this command clears the Standard Event Status
Register (see Section 8.7.3.3, *ESR?, on page 74), Operation Status Event Register (see Section 8.7.3.89,
STAT:OPER?, on page 94), Questionable Status Event Register (see Section 8.7.3.92, STAT:QUES?, on
page 94), and system error queue (see Section 8.7.3.116, SYST:ERR?, on page 98). The Status Byte Reg-
ister (see Section 8.7.3.7, *STB?, on page 76) is updated to show the new state of the registers.
8.7.3.2 *ESE <value>
Example command: *ESE 16
Query form: *ESE?
Sets the Standard Event Status Enable Register. This mask register determines which corresponding bits of the
Standard Event Status Register (see Section 8.7.3.3, *ESR?, on page 74) affect the ESB summary message
(bit 5) of the Status Byte Register.
8.7.3.3 *ESR?
Example response: 160
Reads and clears the Standard Event Status Register. This indicates any of several events dened by the IEEE-
488.2 standard and which are listed in the following table. Reading the Standard Event Status Register clears
it. The register is also cleared by the *CLS command.
