Address
Messages
Address messages are used by the controller to communi-
cate talk and listen control to other devices on the
bus.
Address messages are sent over the eight
data
lines of the
bus
while the controller holds ATN true. Address mes-
sages are processed immediately and are not placed in the
input buffer. The address messages are:

Universal
Commands
Universal commands are accepted and interpreted by all
devices
on the bus. The commancls are of two types,
multiline messages and uniline messages. Multiline mes-
sages are sent over the eight parallel data lines
in
the
IEEE-488 bus. Uniline messages are sent over one of
the
GTL
individual interface management lines in the IEEE-488
bus.
All universal
commands
except DCL are processed
immediately by the
88404
ahead of any device-dependent
commands. Only DCL enters the 8840A input buffer.

a
trimer command into
the
input
buffer and also terminates the string at that
point. Only a single character is loaded into
the
itlput buffer. The trigger commqd is
executed in its proper

rather than immedjately. When executed, GET
