D-12
IEEE-488 Bus Overview
Typical command sequences
For the various multiline commands, a speci
fi
c bus sequence must take place to properly
send the command. In particular, the correct listen address must be sent to the instrument
before it will respond to addressed commands. Table D-3 lists a typical bus sequence for send-
ing the addressed multiline commands. In this instance, the SDC command is being sent to the
instrument. UNL is generally sent as part of the sequence to ensure that no other active listeners
are present. Note that ATN is true for both the listen command and the SDC command byte
itself.
Table D-4 gives a typical common command sequence. In this instance, ATN is true while
the instrument is being addressed, but it is set high while sending the common command string.
