STATus Subsystem
The STATus subsystem is used to retrieve status information from the instrument and to
mask or screen what status is able to be retrieved.
Status registers give information about the instrument and the latest measurement. Status
enable registers allow some status information to be ignored. Status information disabled
though the status enable registers will not show up in the status registers.
