11.3.7 Standard Event Status and Enable Register (ESR, ESE)
The ESR is already defined in the IEEE 488.2 standard. It is comparable to the EVENt
register of a SCPI register. The standard event status register can be read out by the
query *ESR.
The ESE forms the associated ENABle register. It can be set and read by *ESE.

Table 11-9: Meaning of bits used in the standard event status register
Bit No. Meaning
0 Operation complete
When the *OPC command is received, this bit is set if all previous commands have been
executed.
1 Not used
2 Query error
This bit is set in either of the two following cases: the controller wants to read data from the
sensor but has not sent a query, or it sends new commands to the sensor before it
retrieves existing requested data. A frequent cause is a faulty query which cannot be exe-
cuted.
3 Device-dependent error
This bit is set if a sensor dependent error occurs. An error message with a number
between -300 and -399 or a positive error number denoting the error in greater detail is
entered in the error queue.
