66 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
– Is changed from TRUE to FALSE (input ).
 The registers are reset as a result of querying.
 The *CLS setting command clears all event registers.
 Example
– Incorrect programming command occurs.
– Command error bit 5, CME, is set to 1 in the ESR.
– Bit 5 remains set, even in the event of subsequent correct
commands.
– After querying ESR, the CME bit is reset.
Programming
Query command:*ESR? event standard register
ERA? event register A
ERB? event register B
Response string: n (decimal equivalent)
Value: 0 n  255
Length: 3 characters, fixed
Example (HP Basic):
OUTPUT 713; "*ESR?"
ENTER 713; A$; DISP A$
 Display: 032 {032

Enable registers
Settings
Functions
 Enable register (see also chapter 6.3 on page 60 and the table:
“Query Commands for Status and Events Management” on
page 86).
 The device is equipped with 5 enable registers.
 Mask for forwarding messages from the event registers or the
status byte register
 The necessary bits must first be set in the respective enable
register for corresponding masking.
 Event information is only forwarded by registers which have
been set.
 Selective enabling or disabling of SRQ or IST for event messages
 The registers can be written to separately.
 The register contents are non-volatile.
 Queries, the *CLS command and device functions do not
cause any changes to the register contents.
 Cleared only when the device is switched off, and if the non-
volatile PSC flag is also set to 1.
 Cleared by entering a value of 0.
Programming
Setting command: *ESE n event standard enable register
ERAE n event enable register A
ERBE n event enable register B
*SRE n service request enable register
*PRE n parallel poll enable register
Parameter: n (value) decimal equivalent, register
content
Parameter type: Integer
Setting range: 0 n  255
Example (HP Basic):
OUTPUT 713; "ERAE144"
Bits 4 and 7 in the ERAE are prepared for
forwarding {1001 0000

}
Query
Functions
 The query results in the selected register value.
 The registers can be queried separately.
 Register content is not changed by the query.
