About the IEEE 488.2-1992 Standard
The GP-IB interface of this instrument 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 section 2.2, “GP-IB Interface Features 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 change is detected when the user
presses INTERFACE and changes the address
on the GPib 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.
As a basic rule, the previous settings (the settings
that were in use when this instrument was turned
off) are used.
There are no limitations on the commands that
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
chapter 6.
(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
chapter 6.
(6) Items that are included in the functional or
composite header elements constituting a
command
See chapters 5 and 6.
(7) Buffer sizes that affect block data
transmission
When block data is being transmitted, the output
queue is expanded to match the size of the data
that is being 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
chapter 6.
(10) Communication between devices that do not
follow the response syntax
Not supported.
(11) Size of the response data block
0 to 24576 bytes
(12) A list of supported common commands
See section 6.17, “Common Command Group.”
(13) Device condition after a successful calibration
The device will be performing measurements.
(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 6.17, “Common Command Group.”
(17) Size of storage area for protected user data
for PUD and *PUD?
*PUD and *PUD? are not supported.
(18) The length of the *RDT and *RDT? resource
names
*RDT and *RDT? are not supported.
(19) The change in the status due to *RST, *LRN?,
*RCL, *SAV, and *RST
See section 6.17, “Common Command Group.”
*LRN?, *RCL, and *SAV
These common commands are not supported.
(20) The extent of the self-test using the *TST?
command
See section 6.17, “Common Command Group.”
(21) The structure of the extended return status
See chapter 7.
(22) Whether each command is processed in an
overlapped manner or sequentially
See section 5.5, “Synchronization with the
Controller” and chapter 6.
(23) The description of the execution of each
command
See the explanations of each command’s function
in chapter 6 and the User’s Manual, IM WT310E-
01EN.
