Bit Definitions - Status Byte Register - Agilent Technologies EPM-P Series Programming Manual

The Status Byte Summary Register
The status byte summary register reports conditions from other status
registers. Query data waiting in the power meter's output buffer is
immediately reported through the "message available" bit (bit 4). Clearing
an event register clears the corresponding bits in the status byte summary
register. Reading all messages in the output buffer, including any pending
queries, clears the message available bit.
