ist - Set or Clear Individual Status Bit

Type:

Parallel Poll function

Purpose:

Use

ist

when the GPIB-SCSI-A participates in a parallel poll

that is conducted by another device that is Active Controller.

Remarks:

If Mode is 1, the individual status bit of the GPIB-SCSI-A is
set to 1. If Mode is 0, the individual status bit of the
GPIB-SCSI-A is cleared. The power-on default is 0.

The information transfer phases that the GPIB-SCSI-A drives
the SCSI through after selection are the Command, Data In,
Status, and Message In phases.
