Status Registers
Overview
Access the status registers
There are two different methods to access the status registers:
• Common commands accesses and controls
• Status subsystem commands
What are Status Register SCPI Commands
Most monitoring of the instrument conditions is done at the
highest level using the IEEE common commands indicated below.
Complete command descriptions are available in the IEEE
commands section at the beginning of the language reference.
Individual status registers can be set and queried using the
commands in the STATus subsystem of the language reference.
• *CLS (clear status) clears the status byte by emptying the error
queue and clearing all the event registers.
• *ESE, *ESE? (event status enable) sets and queries the bits in
the enable register part of the standard event status register.
• *ESR? (event status register) queries and clears the event
register part of the standard event status register.
• *SRE, *SRE? (service request enable) sets and queries the value
of the service request enable register.
• *STB? (status byte) queries the value of the status byte register
without erasing its contents.
