8.3 The Common Commands
The IEEE 488.2 standard has a list of reserved commands, called
common commands. These are the commands that start with an
asterisk. Some of these commands must be implemented by any
instrument using the standard, others are optional. This section
describes the implemented commands.
Common Status Information
There are four registers for the common status information. Two of
these are status-registers and two are enable-registers. These
registers conform to the IEEE Standard 488.2-1987. You can find
further descriptions of these registers under “*ESE” on page 95,
“*ESR?” on page 96, “*SRE” on page 101, and “*STB?” on
page 102.
