The Status Byte
Register
As shown in Figure 4-1, the Status Byte register is the highest-level register in
the status structure. This register contains bits which summarize information
from the other status groups.
NOTE The bits in the other status group registers must be specifically enabled to be
reported in the Status Byte register. Refer to "Unmasking Standard Event Status
Bits" (later in this chapter) for more information.
