Status Byte
The status byte summarizes the information from all other status groups.
The summary bit for the status byte actually appears in bit 6 (RQS) of the
status byte. When RQS is set it generates an SRQ interrupt to the
controller indicating that at least one instrument on the bus requires
attention. You can read the status byte using a serial poll or *STB?
