Implementation
1
Interface Function Subsets Implemented
SH1, AH1, T6, L4, SR1, RL1, PP0, DC1, DT0, C0
2
Device behavior when the address is set outside of the
0-30 range.
The 8210A address is set to 10.
3
When is a user address changed recognized?
When the DIP switch setting is changed.
4
Description of settings at power-on.
User programmable via macro.
5
Message exchange options.
a. Size and behavior of input buffer.
b. Queries that return more than one
<RESPONSE MESSAGE UNIT>
c. Queries that generate a response when parsed.
d. Queries that generate a response when read e.
Commands that are coupled.
a. The GPIB input buffer is 2048 bytes in length. When the
Input Buffer becomes full it processes the messages currently
received before accepting additional messages. All data bytes
received will be stored in the Input Buffer until ’end of
message’ is detected. The message(s) received are the
processed in the order received.
b. The 8210A contains no Query commands that return more
than one <RESPONSE MESSAGE UNIT>
c. All valid queries generate a response when parsed. The
reply is generated at the time the Query message is received.
d. none
e. none
6

19
States affected by *RST, *LRN, *RCL, and *SAV
*RST resets the Parser, Input Buffer, and Output Queue.
*LRN, *RCL, and *SAV are not implemented
20
Scope of the self test performed by the *TST?
a. checks non-volatile memory contents.
b. checks Device Interface Bus.
c. checks front-panel interface.
21
Additional status data structures used in status reporting
none
22 Commands
overlapped/sequential.
All commands are sequential
23
Functional criteria met with an operation complete
message is generated in response to that command
Command is finish executing
