GP-IB Interface
12.6 About the IEEE 488.2-1992 Standard
The GS200’s GP-IB interface conforms to the IEEE 488.2-1992 standard. This standard
specifies that the following 23 items be stated in the document. This section describes
these items.
(1) Of the IEEE 488.1 interface functions, the subsets that are supported
See “GP-IB Interface Specifications” on page 12-1.
(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 change is detected when the address is set on the GP-IB Address
menu (see section 12.3). 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.
The settings selected in section 9.3, “Selecting the Settings Applied at Power-On.”
If you issue the RST common command, the GS200 always returns to the factory
default settings.
(5) Message exchange options
(a) Input buffer size
64 KB.
(b) Queries that return multiple response messages
See the example of the commands given in section 13.2.
(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 that restrict one another
See the example of the commands given in section 13.2.
(6) Items that are included in the functional or composite header elements constituting
a command
See sections 13.1 and 13.2.
(7 ) Buffer sizes that affect block data transmission
The buffer size of block data is 2 MB.
(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 13.2.
(10) Communication between devices that do not follow the response syntax
Not supported.
