Module Status Reporting

Module Status Reporting

Each module reports its status to the Module Event Status Register (MESR<N>), which in turn reports to the Combined Event Status Register (CESR) in the HP 16500/16501A mainframe (see HP 16500/16501A Programmer’s Guide chapter 6). The Module Event Status Register is enabled by the Module Event Status Enable Register (MESE<N>).

The MESE<N> and MESR<N> instructions are not used in conjunction with the SELect command, so they are not listed in the HP 16554A/HP 16555A/ HP 16555D’s command tree.

The following descriptions of the MESE<N> and MESR<N> instructions provide the module specific information needed to enable and interpret the contents of the registers.
