:QUEStionable[:EVENt]?

STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]? returns which bits in the event register (Questionable Status Group) are set. The event register indicates when there has been a transition in the condition register.

Comments Reading the event register clears the contents of the register. If the event register is to be used to generate a service request (SRQ), you should clear the register before enabling the SRQ (*SRE). This prevents an SRQ from occurring due to a previous event.
