mechanism provided by USBTMC-USB488, first check that the RQS
bit in the Status Byte is clear. To do this, perform a serial poll of the
Product before you send any commands that could generate SRQ
events. This only needs to be done once in your program/procedure.

Clear registers and read the status byte:
Write: *CLS;*RST
Write *ESE 0
