Any or all of these conditions can be reported inthe Standard Event summary bit through the enable register. To set theenable register mask, you write a decimal value to the register using the*ESE (event status enable) command.An error condition (Standard Event register bits 2, 3, 4, or 5) will alwaysrecord one or more errors in the function generator’s error queue.Read the error queue using the SYSTem:ERRor? command.Bit Definitions – Standard Event Register4Bit0 Operation Complete1 Not Used2 Query Error3 Device Error4 Execution Error5 Command Error6 Not Used7 Power OnDecimalValue1248163264128DefinitionAll commands prior to and including an *OPCcommand have been executed.Always set to 0.The function generator tried to read the output bufferbut it was empty.
