3.4 Parallel Polling
The Digital488HS/32 provides the method by which the individual status message
(ist), either "true" (1) or "false" (0), can be determined by parallel poll.
ist is set true or false according to the setting of the ist EN Full switch (S2-2), the ist
EN Empty switch (S3-2), and the current states of the input and output ports. The
three least significant address IEEE 488 bus address switches (labeled 1, 2 and 4)
determine which bus DIO line the Digital488HS/32 uses to report the status. The
following table illustrates the Address Switch, ist status and the DIO line used.
