In response to a serial poll (SPOLL), Request Service (RQS) is reported on bit 6 of the status
byte. Otherwise, the Master Summary Status bit (MSS) is reported on bit 6. MSS is the inclu-
sive OR of the bitwise combination, excluding bit 6, of the Status Byte Register and the Ser-
vice Request Enable Register. The MSS message indicates that the scope is requesting
service (SRQ).
*TRG (Trigger)

RUN command. It acquires data for the active waveform display, if the trigger conditions are
met, according to the current settings.
