Bus commands
The instrument may be given a number of special bus commands through the IEEE-488 interface.
This section briefly describes the purpose of the bus commands which are grouped into the
following four categories.
1.
Uniline commands:
Sent by setting the associated bus lines true. For example, to assert REN
(Remote Enable), the REN line would be set low (true).
2.
Multiline commands:
General bus commands which are sent over the data lines with the ATN
line true (low).
3.
Common commands:
Commands that are common to all devices on the bus; sent with ATN
high (false).
4.
SCPI commands
: Commands that are particular to each device on the bus; sent with ATN
(false).
These bus commands and their general purpose are summarized in
