This
HP-IB
mode
normally
used for
remote programming
of the
8504B.
In
this
mode
,
the
8504B

peripheral devices
are controlled
by the
external
controller
.
The
controller
can command
the 8504B
to talk,
and the
plotter
or
other
device
to
listen.
The
8504B
and peripheral
devices cannot
talk directly
to
each
other unless
the computer
sets up
a data
path between
them.
A
talker
is
a
device
capable
of
sending out
data
when
it
is
addressed
to
talk.
There can be only one talker at any given time
. The 8504B is a talker
when
it sends information over the bus
. A listener is a device capable of receiving
data when it is addressed to listen. There can be any number of listeners at
any given time
. The 8504B is a listener when it is controlled over the bus by
a computer
.
