An important thing to note about interface messages is that unlike device-
dependent and common commands, interface messages are not sent literally (in a
direct way). For example, when you send a device-dependent query to the
Calibrator, the controller automatically sends the interface message MTA (My
Talk Address).
IEEE-488 standards define interface messages. Table 4-5 lists the interface
messages that the Calibrator accepts. Table 4-5 also shows the BASIC statement to
generate the interface message. Table 4-6 lists the interface messages that the
Calibrator sends. The mnemonics listed in the tables are not sent in BASIC PRINT
statements as commands are; in this way they are different from device-dependent
and common commands.
Interface messages are handled automatically in most cases. For example,
handshake messages DAV, DAC, and RFD automatically occur under the
direction of an instrument’s interface itself as each byte is sent over the bus.
