Series 2280 Precision Measurement DC Power Supplies Reference Manual Section 7: SCPI command reference077085501 / February 2015 7-3DetailsWhen a bit in the Standard Event Status Enable Register is set and the corresponding bit in theStandard Event Status Register is set on, the ESB bit of the Status Byte Register is set.To set a bit, send the constant or the value of the bit as the parameter. When zero (0) isreturned, no bits are set. You can also send 0 to clear all bits.To query the Standard Event Status Enable Register (ESER), send *ESE?. The instrument returns adecimal value that corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.Example*ESE 145 *ESE 145 sets the Status Enable Standard EventRegister to binary 10010001, which enables the PON,EXE, and OPC bits.Also see*CLS (on page 7-2)Standard Event Register (on page D-8)Status model (on page D-1)*ESR?This command reads the contents of the Standard Event Status Register (SESR).Type Affected by Where saved Default valueQuery only Not applicable Not applicable Not applicableUsage*ESR?DetailsThe instrument returns a decimal value that corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set inthe register and clears the Standard Event Status Register.Example*ESR? Query the contents of the Standard Event StatusRegister (SESR).Example output:145This output indicates that the SESR contains the binaryvalue 10010001.Also see*ESE (on page 7-2)Status model (on page D-1)
