SRQEnableRegister
The status of the service request (SRQ) enable register; a zero (0)
indicates no bits set (also send 0 to clear all bits); other values indicate
various bit settings (0 to 255)
Details
This command sets or clears the individual bits of the Status Request Enable Register.
The Status Request Enable Register is cleared when power is cycled or when a parameter value of 0
is sent with this command.
The instrument returns a decimal value that corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in
the register.
