Description
Clears all event registers summarized in the status
byte (except Message Available, which is cleared
only if *CLS is the first message in the command
line).
Sets Event Status Enable Register to <value>, where
<value> is an integer between 0 and 255.
<value> is an integer whose binary equivalent
corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the register.
If <value> is not between 0 and 255, an Execution
Error is generated.
EXAMPLE: Decimal 16 converts to binary 00010000,
which sets bit 4 (EXE) in ESE to 1.
Meter returns the <value> of the Event Status Enable
Register as set by the *ESE command.
<value> is an integer whose binary equivalent
corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the register.
Meter returns the <value> of the Event Status
Register and then clears it.
<value> is an integer whose binary equivalent
corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the register.

four fields separated by commas. These fields are:
Manufacturer (FLUKE); model (8808A); seven-digit
serial number; and versions of main software and
display software.
Meter sets the Operation Complete bit in the
Standard Event Status Register when parsed.
Meter places an ASCII 1 in the output queue when
parsed.
Meter performs power-up reset.
