Standard Event Register
The Standard Event Register monitors programming conditions including:
– operation complete
–query errors
– device errors
–execution errors
– command execution errors
– power-on state
Reading the Standard Event Register
The Standard Event Register is read with the command:
*ESR?
Reading the register does not clear the bits. The bits are cleared by sending *CLS.
Enabling the Standard Event Register
The Standard Event Enable register specifies which bits in the Standard Event
Status register can generate a summary bit which is subsequently used to
generate a service request.
Bits within the standard event register are enabled with the command:
*ESE <enable>
*ESE? (query form)
– enable: decimal value corresponding to the binary-weighted sum of the bits in
the register. For example, to enable the bit monitoring command syntax errors:
*ESE 32.
*ESE? returns the weighted-sum of all enabled bits.
