Status Byte
8-
Standard Event Status Register
The standard event status register consists of 8 bits as shown in Ta b l e 8 - 4 and is
defined in IEEE 488.2-1987. If one or more enable bits of the standard event
status register is set to “1,” bit 5 (standard event status register summary) of
the status byte is set to “1.”
When each error bit (bits 2, 3, 4, and 5) of the standard event status register is
set to “1,” an error message with the following error numbers is input to the
error queue.
When you read the contents of the standard event status register using the
*ESR? query command, the standard event status register is cleared, and bit 5
of the status byte is reset to “0.”
Bit No. Error No.
2 (query error) -400 to -499
3 (Device specific error) 0 to 32,767, -300 to -399
4 (Execution error) -200 to -299
5 (Command error) -100 to -199
