IEEE 488.1 Capabilities:
The 4865B's IEEE-488.1 capabilities are deter-
mined by the communication link to the instru-
ment. For VXI-11 instruments they are:
AH1, SH1, T6, L4, SR1, RL2, PP0, DC1,
DT1, C0 and E2
E2 Drivers incorporate power up/down
protection.
4865B Address 0 to 30 [4]
488 Bus Performance
Long term GPIB transfer rates are limited by
the LAN data transfer rate, the Client-computer
performance, the GPIB controller and the LAN
instrument or device. Internal delays vary with
the amount of data transferred and 4865B's activ-
ity when the message was received.
Short term transfer rates:
GPIB to 4865B >260 kbyte/sec
4865B to GPIB >180 kbyte/sec
Command times:
*IDN? query
17 ms typical (VXI-11)
*IDN? query
3 ms typical (raw socket)
*CLS command 8.5 ms typical (VXI-11)

companion Instrument
The 4865B supports a single instrument that is
VXI-11.3 compatible or that uses raw sockets.
GPIB controller requirements
GPIB Controller needs to be IEEE-488.2 compli-
ant. Device messages must be terminated with the
IEEE-488.2 new line terminator (linefeed with
EOI asserted) or with just EOI asserted if the LAN
instrument does not require a terminator.
Computer with an IEEE 802.3 LAN interface and
a web browser for configuring the 4865B.
Internal Webserver
The internal WebServer provides HTML web
pages for viewing and setting the 4865B's con-
figuration.
