Enabling the Event Status Register

An event status register summary (bit 5 of the status byte) is set to "1" when
any enabled bit in the standard event status register is set to "1." To
enable/disable any bits of the standard event status register, you can set the
bits in the standard event status enable register. These bits correspond to bits
in the standard event status register. When a bit is set in the standard event
status enable register, it enables the corresponding bit in the standard event
status register to set bit 5 of the status byte (event status register summary bit)
to "1." To set any bit in the standard event status enable register, the *ESE
command is used. The syntax of the *ESE command is:
*ESE <n>
Where,
For example,
If <n> is equal to 34 (00100010), bit 1 and bit 5 are enabled as follows.
Bit No. of Event Status Register
Bit Pattern for *ESE command
When either bit 1 or 5 of the status byte is set to "1," a service request will be
generated.
The default setting is *ESE 0 (all bits of the standard event status register are
disabled).
Bits 1 and 6 of the event status register are always 0 (zero). Thus it is
meaningless to mask these bits.
