IEEE-488. 2 Status
Description
The IEEE-488.2 Status Reporting Model is shown in
Figure 5-1
.
This figure shows how the status reporting data structures are
implemented and the commands used to set and read each of the
registers. While the GPIB operational mode of the 1257 is fully
compliant with this standard, it is impossible for the 1257, or any
instrument operating in the RS-232 operational mode for that
matter, to satisfy the IEEE status requirements in all respects. A
good example of non-compliance relates to the SRQ. SRQ is a
feature that does not exist in RS-232 communications.
