SBE Summary Bit Enable register
This command provides access to the Summary Bit Enable register.
The bits in this register define which bits of the Condition (CON)
register will set the Major Fault and Minor Fault summary bits in the
Status Register (STA). Setting one bit by writing its bit weight into
the SBE register enables its equivalent bit in the CON register. The
individual bits are defined below. More than one bit can be enabled
by writing a value that is a sum of the individual bit weights.

Description
The query form of this command will either return a numeric or a
text response depending on the TEXT ON/OFF setting. The text
response will return a string containing the Text On Response
Message as listed above for each bit that is set. These will be
separated by commas. If no bits are set “ CLEAR” will be returned.
Command Syntax
SBE <NR1>
Example
SBE 12
This will write the value of 12 into the SBE register. This enables bit
2 (Over Power) and bit 3 (Over Current) in the CON register so that
if either is set the relevant summary bit(s) in the STA register will be
set.
