Chapter3 SCPI status register   
You can get the current status of the power supply by reading the operation status 
registers. The power supply records the different status of the instrument through the four 
status register group,the four status register group are: status byte register, standard event 
register, query status register and operation status register. Status byte register records the 
information of the other status register

Error buffer available 
This bit is set to 1 when any one status of enabled query status register   
changes.   
Output buffer available 
Bit ESB is set to 1 when the status of a enabled standard event status 
register changes 
If the status of enabled operation register changes,then this bit is set 
to1.
