*CLS does not affect the
enable unmasks of any of the Status Registers.

*ESE and *ESE?
*ESE <unmask> enables (unmasks) one or more event bits of the Standard Event

the Status Byte Register.
<unmask> is the sum of the decimal weights of the bits to
be enabled allowing these bits to pass through to the summary bit ESB (bit 5 in the
status byte).
*ESE? returns the current enable unmask value.
Parameters
A 1 in a bit position enables the corresponding event; a 0 disables it.
