Event Status and Event Status Enable Registers
The ESR assigns specified events to specific bits. (See Figure 4-3 and Table 4-6.) When a
bit in the ESR is set to 1, the event that corresponds to that bit occurred after the register
was last read or cleared. For example, if bit 3 (DDE) is set to 1, a device-dependent error
has occurred.
