CONTROL
Allows
control of
the 8504B
with
the
computer
over
HP-IB
as
with
the
talker/listener
mode,
and also
allows
the
8504B
to
become
the
active
controller
in order
to plot,
print,
or
directly
access
an
external
disk.
During
this
peripheral operation,
the host
computer is
free
to
perform
other
internal
tasks
that do
not require
use of
the
bus
.
The
bus
is
tied
up
by
the
8504B
during
this time
.
The
pass control
mode
requires
that
the
external
controller
is
programmed
to
respond
to a
request
for
control
and
to
issue
a
take
control
command.
Then
the
peripheral operation
is
complete
,
the
8504B
passes
control
back
to
the
computer
.
In
general,
use
the
talker/listener
mode
for
programming
the
8504B
unless
direct peripheral
access
is
required.

STD
[10
dB]
Selects
a
reectance percentage
value when
an
optional
user-dened
value
is
desired
(not necessarily
10 dB).
The
default
value
is
given
as
10
dB
and
is
changed
using the
knob,
number
keys
,
or
step
keys
.
This
process
is
used
when
you
have
an
optical device
of
known
reectance
that
you
can
use
to
calibrate
the
magnitude
.
This process
improves
dynamic
accuracy
.
