Status Registers
Use Status Registers to Determine the State of Analyzer Events and Conditions
Standard Event Status Event Enable Register
The event enable register (contained in the standard event status register) lets you
choose which bits will set the summary bit (bit 5 of the status byte register) to 1.
Send the *ESE <number> command (where <number> is the sum of the decimal
values of the bits you want to enable).
For example, to enable bit 7 and bit 6 so that whenever either of those bits is set to
1, the standard event status summary bit of the status byte register will also be set
to 1, send the *ESE 192 (128 + 64) command. The *ESE? command returns the
decimal value of the sum of the bits previously enabled with the *ESE <number>
command.

STATus:OPERation Register
The STATus:OPERation register is used to determine the specific event that sets
bit 7 in the status byte register. This register also monitors the current measurement
state and checks to see if the analyzer is performing any of these functions:
• measuring
• calibrating
