Status Model
Enable Register
The enable register defines which bits in an event register are included in
the logical OR into the summary bit. The enable register is logically
ANDed with the event register and the resulting bits ORed into the
summary bit. Enable registers are read/write, and are not affected by
*CLS or querying.

groups actually use all of the registers. The following table summarizes
the registers used in the instrument status groups.
