*ESE, Standard Event Status Enable Command
Description: This command sets the enable mask which allows true conditions in the Standard
Event Status Register to be reported in the Event Status Bit (ESB) of the Status
Byte Register. If a bit is 1 in the Standard Event Status Enable Register, and
its associated event bit transitions true, the ESB of the Status Byte Register is
set true. The bit configuration of ESE is the same as the ESR (see *ESR?).
Syntax: *ESE <NRf>
Parameters: 0 to 255
Example: *ESE 48 It enables the CME and EXE events of Standard Event Status Register.
Query Syntax: *ESE?
Return Parameters: <NR1>

Parameters: None
Return Parameters: <NR1>
Query Example: *ESR? It returns the content of Standard Event Status Register.
