*DMC <name_string>, <command_block>

Define Macro Command. Assigns one, or a sequence of commands to a macro name.

The command sequence may be composed of SCPI and/or Common commands.

The name given to the macro may be the same as a SCPI command, but may not be the same as a Common command. When a SCPI named macro is executed, the macro rather than the SCPI command is executed. To regain the function of the SCPI command, execute the *EMC 0 command.

*EMC <enable>

Enable Macros Command. When enable is non-zero, macros are enabled. When enable is zero, macros are disabled.

*EMC?

Enable Macros Query. Returns either 1 (macros are enabled), or 0 (macros are disabled) for the selected instrument.

*ESE <mask>

Standard Event Status Enable Register Command. Enables one or more events in the Standard Event Status Register to be reported in bit 5 (the Standard Event Status Summary Bit) of the Status Byte Register. You enable an event by specifying its decimal weight for <mask>. To enable more than one event, specify the sum of the decimal weights.

Example *ESE 60	Enables bits 2, 3, 4, & 5. Respective
	weights are 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 60.

*ESE?

Standard Event Status Enable Query. Returns the weighted sum of all enabled (unmasked) bits in the Standard Event Status Register.

Example ESE? Sends status enable query.

*ESR?

Standard Event Status Register Query. Returns the weighted sum of all set bits in the Standard Event Status Register. After reading the register, *ESR? clears the register. The events recorded in the Standard Event Status Register are independent of whether or not those events are enabled with the *ESE command.
