enabled in the status byte register. The selected bits are summarized in the "master summary" bit (bit6) 
of the status byte register. If any of the selected bits change from 0 to 1, the instrument generates a 
Service Request signal. 
  When <value> is set to 0, executing this command will clear the enable register of the status byte 
register. 
  If you have configured the instrument by using the *PSC
 1 command, the enable register of the 
standard event register will be cleared at the next power-on of the instrument. If you have configured 
the instrument by using the 
*PSC 0 command, the enable register of the standard event register will 
not be cleared at the next power-on of the instrument. 
 
Return Format 
The query returns a decimal value that corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of the bits enabled in the 
status byte register. 
 
 
*STB? 
 
Syntax 
*STB? 
 
Description 
Queries the status register of the status byte register. 
 
Remarks 
This command cannot clear the service request. Bit6 (master summary bit) of the status byte register will 
not be cleared as long as the condition that generates the service request is still in effect. 
 
Return Format 
The query returns a decimal value that corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all the bits in the status 
register of the status byte register. 
 
 
*TRG 
 
Syntax 
*TRG 
 
Description 
Triggers a sweep or a burst. 
 
Remarks 
  You can only trigger the sweep or burst via the remote interface when the sweep or burst function is 
currently enabled and the trigger source is set to manual (use the 
[:SOURce[<n>]]:SWEep:TRIGger:SOURce or [:SOURce[<n>]]:BURSt:TRIGger:SOURce command). 
  You can also send the 
[:SOURce[<n>]]:SWEep:TRIGger[:IMMediate] or 
[:SOURce[<n>]]:BURSt:TRIGger[:IMMediate] command to trigger a sweep or a burst when the 
sweep or burst function is currently enabled and the trigger source is set to manual.
