Commands for IEEE-488 Only
The IEEE-488 checkbox indicates commands that are used for the IEEE-488 interface.
This is all the commands, except for those used for RS-232 operations. (See “Commands
for RS-232 Only.”) All commands are transferred over the IEEE-488 as data, except for
the commands LOCAL, REMOTE, and LOCKOUT, which are implemented per IEEE
Standards as messages (see Table 5-7).
