Remote Interface Reference 3
Keysight E364xA User’s and Service Guide 131
The status byte summary register is cleared when:
– you execute the *CLS (clear status) command.
– Querying the Standard Event register (*ESR? command) will clear only bit 5 in
the Status Byte summary register.
For example, 24 (8 + 16) is returned when you have queried the status of the
Status Byte register, QUES and MAV conditions have occurred.
The Status Byte Enable register (Request Service) is cleared when:
– You execute the *SRE 0 command.
– You turn on the power and have previously configured the power supply using
the *PSC 1 command.
The enable register will not be cleared at power-on if you have previously
configured the power supply using *PSC 0.
Using Service Request (SRQ) and serial POLL
You must configure your bus controller to respond to the IEEE-488 service request
(SRQ) interrupt to use this capability. Use the Status Byte enable register (*SRE
command) to select which summary bits will set the low-level IEEE-488 service
request signal. When bit 6 (request service) is set in the Status Byte, an IEEE-488
service request interrupt message is automatically sent to the bus controller. The
bus controller may then poll the instruments on the bus to identify which one
requested service (the instrument with bit 6 set in its Status Byte).
The request service bit is cleared only by reading the Status Byte using an
IEEE-488 serial poll or by reading the event register whose summary bit is causing
the service request.
To read the Status Byte summary register, send the IEEE-488 serial poll message.
Querying the summary register will return a decimal value which corresponds to
the binary-weighted sum of the bits set in the register. Serial poll will
automatically clear the “request service” bit in the Status Byte summary register.
No other bits are affected. Performing a serial poll will not affect instrument
throughput.
