6.2.1 Status Register
6-7
The Status Byte Register conforms to the Status Register except for the following three points.
• The summary of the Status Byte Register is written into bit 6 of the Status Byte Register.
• Enable Register's bit 6 is always enabled and cannot be changed.
• Status Byte Register's bit 6 (MSS) writes RQS (service request).
This register responds to a serial poll from the controller.
When responding to the serial poll, bit 0 to 5, bit 7, and RQS of the Status Byte Register are read, after
which RQS is reset to 0. Other bits are not cleared until their factors become 0.
The Status Byte Register, RQS, and MSS can be cleared by executing "*CLS." Accompanying this,
the SRQ line also becomes False.
Each bit of the Status Byte Register is described in Table 6-1.
4. Standard Event Status Register
The functions assigned to the Standard Event Status Register are described in Table 6-2.
