Service Request (SRQ) and Status Registers
A Service Request will be generated if one or more bits of the 'Status Byte Register' are
set to 1 and if the corresponding bits are enabled by the 'Service Request Enable Register'
(IEEE-488 Interface only). The controller asks the contents of the 'Status Byte Register'
in 'Serial Poll Mode.'

To get the information using Service Request that bits of the 'Standard Event Status
Register' are set, those bits must have been enabled by *ESE,
and
bit 5 of the 'Status
Byte Register' must have been enabled by *SRE.
Direct readout without Service Request is possible for the IEEE-488 as well as for the
RS-232 Interface by using the *ESR? query for the 'Standard Event Status Register' and
by the *STB? query for the 'Status Byte Register.'
