MESR<N> (Module Event Status Register)
Query :MESR<N>?
The MESR query returns the contents of the Module Event Status register.
The <N> index specifies the module. For the HP 16500C alone, the <N>
index 0 through 5 refers to system and modules 1 through 5 respectively.
With an HP 16501A connected, the <N> index 6 through 10 refers to modules
6 through 10 respectively.
Refer to table 10-9 for information about the Module Event Status Register 0
bits and their bit weights.
See Also MESR in the Programmer’s Guide for a specific module for the
interpretation of that module’s Event Status Register.
