Bit 5, Event Summary Bit (ESB) Set bit indicates that an enabled standard event has oc-
curred. The event can be identified by reading the Standard Event Status Register using the
*ESE? query command (see paragraph 5.10.2).
Bit 6, Master Summary Status (MSS) / Request Service (RQS) Set bit indicates that one
or more enabled conditions have occurred to generate a service request (SRQ). Note that the
IEEE-488.1 standard designates Bit 6 as the RQS bit and is read by performing a Serial Poll.
Bit 7, Operation Summary Bit (OSB) Set bit indicates that an enabled operation event has
occurred. The event can be identified by reading the Operation Event Status Register using the
following SCPI command structure:
:STATus:OPERation?
See paragraph 5.16 for details.
