GET (group execute trigger)
GET is a GPIB trigger that is used as an arm, scan, or measure event to control operation. The Model
6517B reacts to this trigger if it is the programmed control source. GET can also be used as the pre-
trigger for the reading buffer. The control source is programmed from the SCPI
:TRIGger
subsystem.
SPE, SPD (serial polling)
The serial polling sequence is used to obtain the Model 6517B serial poll byte. The serial poll byte
contains important information about internal functions. Generally, the serial polling sequence is used
by the controller to determine which of several instruments has requested service with the SRQ line.
However, the serial polling sequence may be performed at any time to obtain the status byte from the
Model 6517B.
IEEE-488 front panel operation
The following paragraphs discuss aspects of the front panel that are part of IEEE-488 operation,
including messages, status indicators, and the
LOCAL
key.
Error and status messages
Status and error messages
(on page 2-11) summarizes the error and status messages associated
with remote programming using SCPI and Common Commands.
IEEE-488 status indicators
The REM (remote), TALK (talk), LSTN (listen), and SRQ (service request) annunciators show the
present IEEE-488 status of the instrument. Each of these indicators is briefly described below.
REM:
This indicator shows when the instrument is in the remote state. Note that REM may not always
show the state of the REN line, because the instrument must be addressed to listen with REN set to
true before the REM indicator turns on. When the instrument is in remote mode, all front panel keys
except for the LOCAL key are locked out. When REM is turned off, the instrument is in the local state,
and front panel operation is restored.
TALK:
This indicator is on when the instrument is in the talker active state. The unit is placed in this
state by addressing it to talk with the correct MTA (My Talk Address) command. TALK is off when the
unit is in the talker idle state. The instrument is placed in the talker idle state by sending it an UNT
(Untalk) command, addressing it to listen, or with the IFC (Interface Clear) command.
LSTN:
This indicator is on when the Model 6517B is in the listener active state, which is activated by
addressing the instrument to listen with the correct MLA (My Listen Address) command. Listen is off
when the unit is in the listener idle state. The unit can be placed in the listener idle state by sending
UNL (Unlisten), addressing it to talk, or by sending IFC (Interface Clear) over the bus.
SRQ:
The instrument can be programmed to generate a service request (SRQ) when one or more
errors or conditions occur. When this indicator is on, a service request has been generated. This
indicator stays on until the serial poll byte is read or all the conditions which caused SRQ have
ceased to exist.
