*STB?
The *STB? query command stores the decimal representation of the status byte in
the output data buffer (query buffer).
The *STB? command is functionally identical to the SPOLL command of BASIC,
however this command does not clear the status byte (the SPOLL command clears
the status byte).
*STB?
