8.3 Enabling the SRQ
Enabling the SRQ allows a summary message in the STB register to be selected in
response to a service request. The service request enable (SRE) register shown
below can be used to select a summary message.
Bits of the service request enable register correspond to the bits of the status byte
register. When 1 is set in a status byte bit corresponding to a significant bit of the
service request enable register, the devices sets the RQS bit to 1 and issues a
service request to the controller. For example, when bit 4 of the service request
enable register is set (enabled) in advance, a service request can be issued to the
controller each time the MAV bit is set to 1 (if the output queue has data).
