5.5. STATUS REPORTING
Status Byte
The PM1000+ uses a similar status byte to IEEE488.2. The PM1000+ Status Byte
Register (STB) contains the ESB and DAS bits. These two bits indicate a non-zero
state in the Standard Event Status Register (ESR) or the Display Data Status Register
(DSR) respectively.
The ESR and DSR each have enable registers, ESE and DSE respectively, that are set
by the user. These enable registers act as a mask to reflect chosen elements of the
appropriate status registers to the Status Byte Register. Setting the appropriate bit of
the enable register to 1 configures transparency.
If any of the status registers are read, that register is reset to zero.
