Status Byte Query STB STB Status bits will be mapped as stated under
RQS
Note:
Bits 2 and 4 will always be set together if
"Command Complete" or "End of Sweep"
is detected. The R&S ESCI cannot
distinguish between these two conditions.
Plus, these bits cannot be used for
synchronization at the end of the sweep in
the continuous sweep mode.
The status byte obtained by a serial poll
will always conform to IEEE 488.2 / SCPI.
ERR? Deletes the error bit in the status register
but always returns a '0' in response.
