The manual reports that the 5370 is SRQ capable but no example is given. Anyway, the operation is the serial_poll and read_status_byte sequence, when the status byte reports the error 0, then a measurement is complete and the result can be read. How to implement the SRQ management depends on your GPIB interface and its software suite (ionsrq to install the SRQ handler for the 82357B and its C library, for example).
