Reading the Event Register
Example 6-29 Syntax
*ESR?
Example 6-30 Example
OUTPUT 714;"*ESR?"
ENTER 714;Register_value
The *ESR? query allows the programmer to determine the current
contents (bit pattern) of the Standard Event Status Register. The Test
Set responds to the *ESR? query by placing the binary-weighted
decimal value of the Standard Event Status Register bit pattern into
the Output Queue. The decimal value of the bit pattern will be a
positive integer in the range of 0 to 255. The response data is obtained
by reading the Output Queue into a numeric variable, integer or real.
Reading the Standard Event Status Register clears it (sets all bits to
zero).
Example 6-31 Example BASIC program
10 INTEGER Std_evn_stat_rg
20 OUTPUT 714;"*ESR?"
30 ENTER 714;Std_evn_stat_rg
40 PRINT Std_evn_stat_rg
50 END

Clearing the Event Register
The EVENT register is cleared whenever it is queried or whenever the
*CLS Common Command is sent to the Test Set.
