Figure 4–1: Status and Event Reporting Process
When an event occurs the appropriate bit in the Standard Event Status register is
set to one and the event is recorded in the Event queue (1). If the corresponding
bit in the Event Status Enable register is also enabled (2), then the event status
bit in the Status Byte register is set to one (3).
