Clear Status
*CLS
Clears the status byte. It does this by emptying the error queue and
clearing all bits in all of the event registers. The status byte registers
summarize the states of the other registers. It is also responsible for
generating service requests.
Remarks: See *STB?
Standard Event Status Enable
*ESE <number>
*ESE?
Selects the desired bits from the standard event status enable register.
This register monitors I/O errors and synchronization conditions such
as operation complete, request control, query error, device dependent
error, execution error, command error and power on. The selected bits
are OR’d to become a summary bit (bit 5) in the status byte register
which can be queried.
The query returns the state of the standard event status enable
register.
Range: Integer, 0 to 255
