The DISABLE statement disables all defined event branches except END, ERROR, and TIMEOUT. While disabled, the first event of each type that occurs, is logged. When event branching is re-enabled with the ENABLE statement, all logged events are serviced in the order of their event priorities.
The DISABLE INTR Statement disables interrupts from just the specified interface. For example:
DISABLE INTR 7
This disables interrupts from the IEEE-488 interface.
The ENABLE INTR statement enables interrupts from a specified interface. An optional bit mask is stored in the interface interrupt-enable register. The default bit mask is the previous bit mask for that interface, or if there is no previous bit mask then a bit mask of all zeros is used. The meaning of the bit mask depends on the interface; consult the interface documentation. For example:
ENABLE INTR 9;1
This enables interrupts on the RS-232 interface and stores one into the interface interrupt-enable register. For the serial interface, one happens to mean "interrupt when a character is received."
