Query Syntax
*ESR?
The *ESR? query returns the contents of the Standard Event Status
Register. When you read the Event Status Register, the value returned is
the total bit weights of all of the bits that are high at the time you read
the byte. Reading the register clears the Event Status Register.
The following table shows bit weight, name, and condition for each bit.
