5-55. Programming the ISR, ISCR, and ISCE

To read the contents of the ISR, send the remote command, ISR?. To read the contents
of the ISCR0 or 1, send the remote command, ISCR0?, or ISCR1?. To read the
contents of the ISCE0 or 1, send the remote command, ISCE0?, or ISCE1?. The
Calibrator responds by sending a decimal number that represents bits 0 through 15.
Every time you read the ISCR0 or 1, its contents are zeroed. The following sample
program reads all five registers:
Convert the returned variables into binary, and you can read the status of the instrument.
For example if a register contains 128, its binary equivalent is: 00000000 10000000.
Therefore, bit 7 (HIVOLT) is set (1) and the rest of the bits are reset (0).
By setting the bits in an ISCE register, you can mask (disable) the associated bits in the
ISCR. For example, to cause an SRQ interrupt when the output has settled, bit 12
(SETTLED) in the ISCE1 register must be 1. (The ISCB bit must also be enabled in the
SRE.) The following sample program loads a decimal 1024 into the ISCE, which sets bit
12 and resets the other bits:

5-56. Output Queue

The output queue is loaded whenever a query is processed, and holds up to 800
characters. The controller reads it with a statement such as a BASIC INPUT statement,
removing what it reads form the queue. If the queue is empty, the Calibrator does not
respond to the INPUT statement from the controller. The Message Available (MAV) bit
in the Serial Poll Status Byte is 1 if there is something in the output queue and 0 if the
output queue is empty.
