Page 59: Status Structure
Status Structure 1.9 Status Structure The Status Byte (STB) that is transmitted to the external controller (PC) complies with the IEEE488.1 standard. Its bit string, called a “status summary message,” provides summary information about the current data placed in a register or queue. 1.9.1 IEEE488.2 standard status model The standard model of the status structure defined by IEEE488.2 is shown below.
Page 60 Chapter 1 Basics of Remote Control In the status model, an IEEE488.1 status byte is used as the lowest-level status, which consists of seven summary message bits that are supplied from an upper status structure. The status data structure is organized into a register model and a queue model to generate these summary message bits.
Page 61: Status Byte (Stb) Register
Status Structure 1.9.2 Status Byte (STB) register The STB register consists of an STB device and an RQS (or MSS) message. (1) ESB and MAV summary messages The ESB and MAV summary messages are described below. ESB summary message The ESB (Event Summary Bit) summary message is a message defined by IEEE488.2.

Chapter 1 Basics of Remote Control 1.9.6 Service Request (SRQ) enable operation Bits 0 to 7 of the Service Request Enable (SRE) register control whether the corresponding bits of the STB register will generate an SRQ. The SRB register bits are associated with the STB register bits. If the STB register bit associated with a SRE register bit that is 1 is set to 1, the device sets the RQS bit to 1, issuing a service request to the external controller (PC).
