Status Subsystem Commands
This subsystem programs the AC/DC power source status registers. There are four groups
of status registers;

• Standard Event Group
The Standard Event group is programmed with Common commands. The Operation,
Questionable, and Instrument ISummary status groups each consist of the following three
registers:
Condition Enable
