Serial Poll Status Byte

The IEEE-488 serial poll status byte (spoll byte) can be used to obtain

reserved for SRQ. The remaining bits are used to provide custom
information as shown in the table below.

Note

The fill mode indication is only accurate if the fill toggle switch on
the front panel is in the AUTO position. There is no remote
indication or control available for the OPEN or CLOSED manual
