Table 5-4. IEEE-488 Interface Messages (Received)

Mnemonic Name

Function

ATN Attention

A control line that, when asserted, tells all instruments on
the bus that the subsequent data bytes are an interface
message. When ATN is low, the subsequent data bytes
are interpreted as device-dependent or common
commands addressed to a specified instrument.

DAC

Data Accepted

Sets the handshake signal line NDAC low.

DAV

Data Valid

Asserts the handshake signal line DAV.

DCL

Device Clear

Clears the input/output buffers.

END End

A message that occurs when the Controller asserts the
EOI signal line before it sends a byte.

GET Group

Execute

Trigger

Trigger a TC measurement and put the indication in the
output buffer.

GTL Go

To

Local

Transfer control of the Calibrator from one of the remote
conditions to one of the local conditions, see Table 5-1.

LLO Local

Lockout

Transfers remote/local control of the Calibrator, see
Table 5-1.

IFC Interface

Clear

A control line that sets the interface to a quiescent
condition.

MLA

My Listen Address

Addresses a specified device on the bus as a listener.
The controller sends MLA automatically when it tells a
device-dependent or common command to a specified
instrument.

MTA

My Talk Address

Addresses a specified device on the bus as a talker. The
controller sends MTA automatically whenever it directs a
device-dependent or common query to a specified
instrument.

REN Remote

Enable

Transfer remote/local control of the Calibrator, see Table
5-1.

RFD

Ready For Data

Sets the handshake signal line NRFD low.

SDC

Selected Device Clear

Does the same thing as DCL, but only if the Calibrator is
currently addressed as a listener.

SPD

Serial Poll Disable

Cancels the effect of a Serial Poll Enable.

SPE

Serial Poll Enable

After the Calibrator receives this message, it will show the
Status Byte the next time it is addressed as a talker over
the GPIB interface.

UNL Unlisten

“Unaddresses” a specified device on the bus as a listener.
The controller sends UNL automatically after the device
has successfully received a device-dependent or common
command.

UNT Untalk

“Unaddresses” a specified device on the bus as a listener.
The controller sends UNL automatically after the device
has successfully received a device-dependent or common
query.
