G-14 IEEE-488 Bus Overview Model 2700 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual
Interface function codes
The interface function codes, which are part of the IEEE-488 standards, define an
instrument’s ability to support various interface functions and should not be confused with
programming commands found elsewhere in this manual. The interface function codes for
the Model 2700 are listed in
Table G-6.
The codes define Model 2700 capabilities as follows:
SH (Source Handshake Function) — SH1 defines the ability of the instrument to initiate
the transfer of message/data over the data bus.
AH (Acceptor Handshake Function) — AH1 defines the ability of the instrument to
guarantee proper reception of message/data transmitted over the data bus.
T (Talker Function) — The ability of the instrument to send data over the bus to other
devices is provided by the T function. Instrument talker capabilities (T5) exist only after
the instrument has been addressed to talk.
L (Listener Function) — The ability for the instrument to receive device-dependent data
over the bus from other devices is provided by the L function. Listener capabilities (L4) of
the instrument exist only after it has been addressed to listen.
SR (Service Request Function) — SR1 defines the ability of the instrument to request
service from the controller.
RL (Remote-Local Function) — RL1 defines the ability of the instrument to be placed in
the remote or local modes.
