5.2 GPIB Interface
This interface of a device connected to the BUS is specified by its interface functions. These
functions provide the means for a device to receive, process, and send messages over the bus.
The interface functions are listed in the chart below:
Complete Handshake Capability
Talker/Listener Capability
Service Request Capability
No Remote/Local Capability
No parallel poll Capability
No Device Clear Capability
No Device Trigger Capability
Setting of test condition and parameters
Reading of display status
Reading of measurement results
Note: 6500 GPIB card supports EOI functions.
GPIB Address
All the above commands are required by the IEEE-488.2 GPIB Interface BUS. The factory default
address of the 6500 Series AC Power Source is set to 8.
5.3 RS-232/GPIB Interface Command List
The following is the commands list for ON/OFF output operation and all other parameter settings.
When programming these commands, it does not require any parameter values to be included
with the command. Before using the commands of specific functions into a program, it must first
create a file name (COMMAND: FN nn,xxxx) and the selected step to load into RAM
(COMMAND:SS nn), in order to enter into each specific parameter that can be edited.
When the strings or command has been sent, it must be terminated with EOI.
