Status Byte
The status byte register contains an 8-bit word that the HP 4284A
places on the HP-IB bus when it is serially p olled.
The value of each bit indicates the status of an internal HP 4284A
function, and two bits of the status byte are used as the summary
bits of the registers (Refer to Figure 7-17). Bits are set to \1" and
reset to \0".
Figure 7-17. Status Byte Register
The individual bit assignments of the status byte and its bit weights
are given in Table 7-4. When you read the status byte using HP-IB
serial polling, the value is the sum of the total bit weights of all the
high bits at the time you read the byte. After serial p olling the
status byte, only bit 6 (RQS) is cleared.
