The above messages are transferred through the device input/output buffer. The
output buffer is also called an output queue. A brief description of the output
buffer is given below.
Input buffer
A FIFO (first in first out) type memory area that stores DABs (program and query
messages) temporarily before analysis of syntax and execution.
The input buffer size of the MS9710C is 256 bytes.
Output queue
An FIFO-type queue memory area. All DABs (response messages) output from
a device to a controller are stored in this memory until they have been read by the
controller.
The output queue size of the MS9710C is 256 bytes.
