SCPI Commands

An SRQ is forced when a bit in the Status Byte register goes from 0 to 1 and
the corresponding SRE Mask bit is set. If an SRQ is forced, the Recoverable
Queueing Service (RQS) bit is set to 1 and remains as such until it is read
by a serial poll, even if the reason or condition that caused the service
request no longer exists. Similarly, if a serial poll reads the RQS, it is reset
to 0, whether the condition that caused the service request still exists or
not.
