The StreamDevice/ASYN ‘streamSCPI’ example provides a record which holds the value of the status byte (SCPI *STB? reply).  You could use this in conjunction with a sequence record or a state notation program to trigger other records to process and read the values of interest.

I am implementing an EPICS IOC to control a device connected via GPIB to an Keysight E5810 LAN/GPIB Gateway. Therefore I am using devGPIB of the asyn module and connect to the gateway over LAN via the VXI11 Protocol.
 
I am able to send simple commands to the device. However, for a measurement routine a more complex protocol is required by the device. This includes not only sending and receiving binary data but also reading out the status byte (VXI: “Word Serial Read STB”) and sending a trigger (VXI: “Word Serial Trigger”). 
 
Therefore I have chosen a GPIBCVTIO command with a custom convert function that takes care of all I/O that the protocol requires. However I cannot figure out how to read the STB and trigger the device.
Below is a draft of the custom I/O function with the missing parts.
 
How can I get the STB and do Serial Triggering?
