Standard
Event
Status
Register
The Standard Event Status Register is used to record general system event
conditions for the status reporting system. The register is bit mapped,
meaning that each condition
is
represented by a bit. When a bit
is
set
(has
a
value
of
I),
then the condition
is
true. The bit remains set until cleared by the
*ESR? query or the *CLS command.
The Standard Event Enable Register is used to define the conditions that will
set the Event Status Byte bit @it
5)
in the Status Byte.
If
a bit
is
set in the
Standard Event Status register and its corresponding bit is set in the Standard
Event Enable Register, then the Event Status Byte bit @it
5)
in the Standard
Event Register will be set. The Standard Event Enable Register
is
configured
by using the *ESE common command.
Each
of
the bits in the Standard Event Status Register
is
described below.

Execution Error
A
1 in this bit indicates that the 28324 has received a remote command
that generated an execution error.
bit
3:
Device Error
A
1 in this bit indicates that an unmasked device error has occurred.
bit 2: Query Error

1 in this bit indicates that a query error has occurred.
bit 1: Request Control. This bit
is
always
0.
bit
0:
Operation Complete
This bit
is
controlled by the *OPC command.
If
the *OPC command is in
effect, then this bit will be set to 1 when all pending operations have
completed. To operate correctly, this bit should be cleared by the
*CLS
command or *ESR? query before the *OPC command is issued again.
