STATUS ST
Purpose:
To obtain a more detailed status report. The response gives more information
about the conditions, causing a wrong acknowledge.
The status is returned as one or more signed decimal integers.
Each bit of the equivalent 16-bit binary status word represents a status condition.
If a bit is set, the corresponding status event has occurred.
The 16-th (sign) bit of a status word indicates that another status word follows.
The last status word is the error status.
After the reply, the value of the status is reset to zero. The complete description
of the status word can be found in section 6.7 (STATUS
).
The function of the front panel key STATUS has no relation with this ST command.
