Bit 4: Execution Error
Set whenever a parameter exceeds the range available for that parameter, except
for inter-parameter confliet errors which are handled by
bit
3.
Bit 3: Deviee Dependent Error
Set whenever the instrumentmodule encounters an error specifically associated
with the operation
of
that type
of
module. This includes inter-parameter conflict
errors.
Bit 2: Query Error
Set whenever a query is made to the 395 for whieh no response
is
available.
Bit 1: Request Control (not used)
l:3it
0: Operation Complete
Set whenever the last command has finished execution and the Model 395 is ready
to accept another command or the results from the last query are available.
This register, along with a mask enable register called the Standard Event Status
Enable Register, is used to set the ESB bitin the Status Byte
of
the Model 395 GPlB
interface. The Standard Event Status Register (ESR) is bit-wise logically ANDed
with the Standard Event Status Enable Register (ESE) to generate the ESB bit.
If
any
of
the bits
in
the
ESR
are true along with the corresponding bits
in
the mask
ESE, then the Event Status Summary Bit (ESB, bit 6)
inthe GPIB Status Byte will
be asserted. This way the Status Byte can be serial polled to see
if
any one
of
the
conditions
in
the
ESR
has occurred.

listed inside quotes.
