10.5 About the IEEE.488.2-1992 Standard
The GP-IB interface of the instrument conforms to the IEEE 488.2-1992 Standard. This standard specifies that the
following 23 points be stated in the document. This section will describe these points.
1 Of the IEEE 488.1 interface functions, the subsets that are supported
See section 9.1, “GP-IB Interface Functions and Specifications.”
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 I/F key menu. 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 byte
b Queries that return multiple response messages
See the example of the commands given in section 10.2.
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 of which the response data are created upon receiving a send
request from the controller.
e Commands that have parameters the restrict one another
Some commands, such as the
:LIMit:PCNT:PLIMit
and
[:DATA]
, have parameters
that restrict unilaterally, but there are no commands that have parameters that
mutually restrict one another.
6 Items that are included in the functional or composite header elements constituting a command.
See sections 10.1 and 10.2.
7 Buffer sizes that affect block data transmission
The output queue is expanded to the appropriate size when block data are transmitted.
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 10.2.
10 Communication between devices that do not follow the response syntax.
See section 9.5, “Switching to the Talk-only Mode.”
