Output Queue Group
The Output Queue Group is a specific implementation of the status queue model
described in "Status Queue Model" on page 270. The Output Queue queue type is
defined by the IEEE 488.2-1987 Standard to be a first in, first out (FIFO) queue.
The Output Queue Group includes a FIFO queue and a Message Available
(MAV) Summary Message. Refer to the
"Status Reporting Structure Overview"
on page 260
for an overview of status queue operation. Figure 10 shows the
structure of the Output Queue Group.
