Standard Event Status Enable
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, status execution error, command error and 
power on. The selected bits are OR’d to become a summary bit (bit 5) in the byte register 
which can be queried.
The query returns the state of the standard event status enable register.
