The status byte; a zero (0) indicates no bits set; other values indicate various
bit settings
Details
This attribute is used to read the status byte, which is returned as a numeric value. The binary
equivalent of the value of this attribute indicates which register bits are set. In the binary equivalent,
the least significant bit is bit B0, and the most significant bit is bit B7. For example, if a value of
1.29000e+02 (which is 129) is read as the value of this register, the binary equivalent is 1000 0001.
This value indicates that bit B0 and bit B7 are set.
