Model 5340A
Installation and Remote Programming
d. ATTENTION (ATN)
ATN
is
used by
a
controller to address
a
5340A. The 5340A monitors ATN at all times.
When ATN is low, all
5340A’s connected to the bus interpret the information on the
data lines’
as
an address. They will handshake on the appropriate lines and will not
drive the data lines. The
5340A requires the controller to hold ATN low for
1
psec
before
it
sets the handshake line DATA VALID low.
When ATN is high,
a
5340A that has been addressed to TALK will drive the data lines.
Those that have been addressed to LISTEN will interpret the information on the data
lines
as
program data. Those that have not been
addressed will not drive the data
lines.
e. DATA LINES (EIGHT
-
BITS DIO1, D102
...
DI08)
DIOl through D107 carry data between the 5340A and
its
controller. The 5340A drives
these lines when
it
has been addressed to TALK. The 5340A receives information on
the data lines when addressed to LISTEN or when ATN
is
low. D108
is
permanently
terminated in the
5340A.
When
a
DIO line
is
high, the data bit
is
a
logic zero
(0).
When
a
DIO line
is
low, the data bit
is
a
logic one (1).
f. READY FOR DATA (RFD)
RFD
is
the handshake line that indicates LISTENERS are ready to accept information
on the data lines. Its relationship to the other handshake lines and ATN
is
shown in
Figure 2
-
1 and Table
2
-
1.
RFD
is
driven by LISTENERS: all 5340A’s when ATN
is
low and those instruments
addressed to listen when ATN
is
high.
It is sensed by TALKERS: the controller when
ATN
is
low, and the instrument addressed to talk when ATN is high.
When RFD is high, all listeners are unconditionally ready for data. The TALKER may,
at
its
own time, put
a
byte of information on the data lines and set DAV low. When
RFD
is
low, one or more listeners are not ready for data.
When the controller sets ATN low, all
5340A’s will set RFD to
its
valid state within
200
nsec. When the controller sets ATN high, all 5340As that have not been addressed
to listen will not drive RFD, those addressed to listen will set RFD
to
its valid state within
200
nsec.
The listener must not set RFD low until it senses DAV is low. It may do
so
before or
at
the same time that
it
sets DAC high. It must not return RFD high until
it
senses DAV
is
high and may do
so
after, or
at
the same time that it sets DAC low.
g. DATA ACCEPTED (DAC)
DAC is the handshake line that indicates the acceptance of information on. the data
lines.
Its
relationship to the other handshake lines and ATN is shown in Figure 2
-
1
and Table 2
-
1.
DAC
is
driven by LISTENERS: all 5340As when ATN is low and those instruments
addressed to listen when ATN is high.
It
is
sensed by TALKERS: the controller when
ATN is low and the instrument addressed to talk when ATN
is
high.
When DAC
is

DAV high, remove that byte of information and continue. When DAC is low, one or
more LISTENERS have not accepted the information on the data lines.
