In particular, the correct listen address must be sent to the
instrument before it will respond to addressed corn-
mands. Table E-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 sequence 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 E-4 gives a typical device-dependent command se-
quence. In this instance, ATN is true while the instru-
ment is being addressed, but it is set high while sending
the device-dependent command string.
IEEE Command Groups
Typical Command Sequences
For the various multiline co
nummls, a specific bus se-
quence must take place to properly send the command.
Command groups supported by the Model 486/487 are
listed in Table E-5. Device-dependent commands are not
included in this list.
