6 will always be zero.) Convert the returned value to binary to determine the status of
register bits.
EXAMPLE	EXPLANATION
*SRE?	Reads the value of the SRE Register. Assume "32" is returned.
	Converting 32 to the binary 00100000 indicates that bit 5 in the SRE
	is set to 1.

Computer Interface Command Set

The remainder of Chapter 5 describes the RS-232 and IEEE-488 computer interface commands. RS-232 and IEEE-488 commands are identical, except where indicated. These commands, grouped by related function, are listed in the tables that follow. A parameter that must be supplied by the user, or a string returned by the meter is enclosed in angle brackets (e.g., <value>).
