Section 5 Status Messages
5-2
The Status Byte (STB) sent to the controller is based on the IEEE488.1 standard. The
bits comprising it are called a status summary message because they represent a sum-
mary of the current data contained in registers and queues.
The following pages explain the status summary message and structure of status data
that constitutes the status summary message bits, as well as techniques for synchro-
nizing the MT8801C and controller, which use these status messages.
These functions are used by an external controller with the GPIB interface bus.
Almost functions can be used by an external controller with the RS-232C interface.
