message is sent, the internal status, as read by the STATUS 1
command, is cleared. This event is tested after the IDLE event. If
IDLE

is ARMed, the CHANGE event will only be reported when an

un-addressed to an addressed transition occurs.

ERROR

The event message 'ERROR' is returned to the serial host when the
Micro488/EX detects an error condition. The error condition may be
an un-recognized command from the serial host, an invalid
parameter or a bus error. Refer to Appendix B for a listing of the
error conditions which can be detected and reported by the
Micro488/EX. This event is level sensitive. When the event message
is sent, the error status, as read by any of the STATUS commands,
must be read prior to ARMing this event again.

Once a condition is ARMed it remains ARMed until it is DISARMed, the event

specified has occurred or until the Micro488/EX is reset.

The ARM and ON DOMACRO commands are mutually exclusive. The

last command issued takes precedence.
