IEEE-488 Bus Overview
H-7
For the various multiline commands, a specific bus sequence
must take place to properly send the command. In particular,
the correct listen address must be sent to the instrument be-
fore it will respond to addressed commands. Table H-3 lists
a typical bus sequence for sending the addressed multiline
commands. In this instance, the SDC command is being sent
to the instrument. UNL is generally sent as part of the se-
quence to ensure that no other active listeners are present.
Note that ATN is true for both the listen command and the
SDC command byte itself
Table H-4 gives a typical common command sequence. In
this instance, ATN is true while the instrument is being ad-
dressed, but it is set high while sending the common com-
mand string.
