Standard Event Status Enable Register
The Standard Event Status Enable Register lets you choose which bits in the Standard Event
Status Register set the summary bit (bit 5 of the Status Byte Register) to 1.
*ESE <data> <data> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable.
Example: To enable bit 7 and bit 6 so that whenever either of those bits is set to 1, the
Standard Event Status summary bit of the Status Byte Register is set to 1.
Send the command *ESE 192 (128 + 64).
Query: *ESE?
Response: Decimal value of the sum of the bits previously enabled with the
*ESE <data> command.
