*ESE
Description
The *ESE command sets the standard Event Status Enable Register (ESE). This command allows one or
more events in the ESR register to be reflected in the ESB summary message bit (bit 5) of the STB
register. For an overview of the ESB defined events, refer to the ESR table.
The *ESE? query reads the contents of the ESE register.

Example (GPIB)
The following instruction allows the ESB bit to be set if a user request (URQ bit 6, decimal 64) and/or a
device dependent error (DDE bit 3, decimal 8) occurs. Summing these values yields the ESE register mask
64+8=72.
