The GP-IB interface of the instrument conforms to the
IEEE 488.2-1992 Standard. This standard specifies
that the 23 points listed below be stated in the
document. This section will describe these points.
(1)
The subsets of the IEEE 488.1 interface
functions that are supported
See “GP-IB Interface Specifications” on page 8-
3.
(2)
The operation of the device when it is
assigned an address outside the 0 to 30
range
The address of this instrument cannot be set to
an address outside the 0 to 30 range.
(3)
Reaction of the device when the user
changes the address
The address is changed when a new address is
set using the SHIFT+LOCAL key. The new
address is valid until the next time it is changed.
(4)
Device settings at power-up. The commands
that can be used at power-up.
Basically, the previous settings are used
(settings that existed when the power was turned
OFF).
All commands can be used at power-up.
(5)
Message exchange options
(a)Input buffer size
1024 bytes
(b) Queries that return multiple response
messages
See the example of the commands given in
section 8.7.
(c)Queries that create response data when
the command syntax is being analyzed
All queries create response data when the
command syntax is analyzed.
(d) Queries that create response data during
reception
There are no queries in which the response
data are created upon receiving a send
request from the controller.
(e)Commands that have parameters that
restrict one another
See the example of the commands given in
section 8.7.
(6)
Items that are included in the functional or
composite header elements constituting a
command
See sections 8.6 and 8.7.
(7)
Buffer sizes that affect block data
transmission
Data block transmission is not supported.
(8)
A list of program data elements that can be
used in equations and their nesting
limitations
Equations cannot be used.
(9)
Syntax of the responses to queries
See the example of the commands given in
section 8.7.
(10) Communication between devices that do not
follow the response syntax
Not supported.
(11) Size of the response data block
Not supported.
(12) A list of supported common commands
See section 8.7.17, “Common Command Group.”
(13) Device condition after a successful
calibration
The settings return to the conditions that existed
before the calibration, measurements are
terminated, and previous measured data are
invalidated.
(14) The maximum length of block data that can
be used for the *DDT trigger macro definition
Not supported.
(15) The maximum length of the macro label for
defining macros, the maximum length of
block data that can be used for the macro
definition, and the process when recursion is
used in macro definitions
Macro functions are not supported.
(16) Reply to the *IDN? query
See section 8.7.17, “Common Command Group.”
