Status Reporting Data Structures
Figure 6-2 brings together the different status reporting data structures
mentioned in this chapter and shows how they work together. To make it
possible for any of the Standard Event Status Register bits to generate a
summary bit, the bits must be enabled. These bits are enabled by using the *ESE
common command to set the corresponding bit in the Standard Event Status
Enable Register.
To generate a service request (SRQ) interrupt to an external controller, at least
one bit in the Status Byte Register must be enabled. These bits are enabled by
using the *SRE common command to set the corresponding bit in the Service
Request Enable Register. These enabled bits can then set RQS and MSS (bit 6)
in the Status Byte Register.
