* Least significant bit
** Most significant bit
The returned value can indicate one or more status events occurred.
Bit Value Description
status.MEASUREMENT_SUMMARY_BIT
status.MSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled measurement
event has occurred.
Bit B0 decimal value: 1
status.EAV
Set summary bit indicates that an error or status message
is present in the Error Queue.
status.QUESTIONABLE_SUMMARY_BIT
status.QSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled questionable
event has occurred.
Bit B3 decimal value: 8
status.MAV
Set summary bit indicates that a response message is
present in the Output Queue.
Bit B4 decimal value: 16
status.ESB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled standard event
has occurred.
Bit B5 decimal value: 32
B6
status.MASTER_SUMMARY_STATUS
status.MSS
Set bit indicates that an enabled Master Summary Status
(MSS) bit of the Status Byte register is set.
B7
status.OPERATION_SUMMARY_BIT
status.OSB
Set summary bit indicates that an enabled operation event
has occurred.
Bit B7 decimal value: 128
In addition to the above constants, nodeEventRegister can be set to the decimal equivalent of the
bits set. When more than one bit of the register is set, nodeEventRegister contains the sum of
their decimal weights. For example, if 129 is returned, bits B0 and B7 are set (1 + 128).

Example
nodeEventRegister = status.node_event
print(nodeEventRegister)
Reads the status node event register.
Sample output:
1.29000e+02
Converting this output (129) to its binary
equivalent yields 1000 0001
Therefore, this output indicates that the set bits
of the status byte condition register are presently
