or state transitions occurring on the five bus management lines from
entry to entry.

Appendix B, Multiline Interface Messages, contains a listing of all
IEEE-488 mnemonics and their ASCII equivalents. For a complete
listing and detailed explanation of all IEEE-488 mnemonics, refer to
the ANSI/IEEE publication IEEE Standard Digital Interface for
Programmable Instrumentation.
A line mnemonic followed by an up arrow indicates that the
corresponding line was asserted since the last entry was made; a
down arrow indicates that the line was unasserted since the last
entry was made. A mnemonic by itself indicates a pulse or other
isolated event occurred on the corresponding line. All transitions
and pulses within an entry are flagged regardless of the event that
actually caused the capture.
An entry labeled

indicates that one or more
capture events were missed or lost between that entry and the entry
preceding it. Such breaks in capture continuity usually occur during
periods of sustained high-speed sampling rates with GPIB-410
handshaking disabled, or when two capture events occur within 500
nsec of each other.
