STATus:MODule:ENABle
Syntax
STATus:MODule:ENABle <enable_value>
STATus:MODule:ENABle?
Description
This command enables bits in the enable register for the Module Event Register group. The selected bits are then reported to the Status Byte.

Use the <enable_value> parameter to specify which bits will be reported to the Status Byte. The decimal value specified corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of the bits you wish to enable in the register. For example, to enable bit 0 (decimal value = 1), bit 1 (decimal value = 2), and bit 8 (decimal value = 256), the corresponding decimal value would be 259 (1 + 2 + 256).
Most of the plug-in modules have defined events that are logged in the Module Event queue. For module-specific event definitions, see Plug-In Module Event Register Information.
The *CLS (clear status) command will not clear the enable register but it does clear all bits in the event register.
The STATus:PRESet command will clear all bits in the enable register.
Return Format
The query command reads the enable register and returns a decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register. For example, if bit 1 (decimal value = 2) and bit 3 (decimal value = 8) are enabled, the query command will return "+10".
Examples
The following command enables bit 8 (decimal value = 256) in the enable register.
STAT:MOD:ENAB 256
The following query returns which bits are enabled in the register.
STAT:MOD:ENAB?
Typical Response: +256
