In addition to the above constants, nodeEventRegister can be set to the decimal equivalent of the bits set.
When more than one bit of the register is set, nodeEventRegister contains the sum of their decimal weights.
For example, if 129 is returned, bits B0 and B7 are set (1 + 128).
Bit B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0
Binary value 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1

Example
nodeEventRegister = status.node_event
print(nodeEventRegister)
Reads the status node event register.
Sample output:
1.29000e+02
Converting this output (129) to its binary
equivalent yields 1000 0001
Therefore, this output indicates that the set bits
of the status byte condition register are presently
B0 (MSB) and B7 (OSB).

Status byte and service request (SRQ) (on page E-15)
status.condition

status.system.*
(on page 7-313)
status.operation.*
These attributes manage the operation status register set of the status model.

Usage
operationRegister = status.operation.condition
operationRegister = status.operation.enable
operationRegister = status.operation.event
operationRegister = status.operation.ntr
operationRegister = status.operation.ptr
status.operation.enable = operationRegister
status.operation.ntr = operationRegister
status.operation.ptr = operationRegister
operationRegister
The status of the operation status register; a zero (0) indicates no bits set (also send
0 to clear all bits); other values indicate various bit settings
