*CLS

*ESE

*ESE?

*ESR?

Table 4-5. Command and Query Reference

Abort Command

Stops execution of command

Clear Status

Clears all event registers (ESR, (IER) summarized in the status byte.

Event Status Enable

Sets the Event Status Enable Register to the given value.

*ESE <value>

<value> = (0 .. 255)

The ESE register is used to enable or mask the output bits of the Standard Event Status Register (ESR). The ANDed output of the ESE and ESR is the Event Status Bit (ESB), which is used as an input for the Status Byte Register. See the previous discussion on status registers for more information.

Example: *ESE 176 [Enables the ESR byte 10110000 (decimal 176), which means the ESB will be set logic high by a Power Transition -or- Command Error -or- Execution Error.]

Event Status Enable Query

Returns an integer representing the present value of the Event Status Enable Register, as selected with the *ESE command. See the previous discussion on status registers for more information.

Example: *ESE? returns 160 [the ESE register is set for 10100000 (decimal 160), which means the Event Status Bit (ESB) will be set logic high by a Power Transition -or- Command Error]

Event Status Register Query

Returns the value of the Standard Event Status Register (ESR) as an integer, then clears the register to 0. See the previous discussion on status registers for more information.

Example: *ESR? returns 48 [The ESR register is set for 00110000 (decimal 48), which means a Command Error and Execution Error were detected since last queried.]
