(6)Items that are included in the functional or
composite header elements constituting a
command
See sections 16.1 and 16.2.
(7)Buffer sizes that affect block data transmission
The receive buffer size of block data is 64 KB.
(8)A list of program data elements that can be used
in equations and their nesting limitations
No equations can be used.
(9)Syntax of the responses to queries
See the example of the commands given in
section 16.2.
(10)Communication between devices that do not
follow the response syntax
Not supported.
(11)Size of the response data block
There are no commands that return block data.
(12)A list of supported common commands
See section 16.2.13, “Common Commands.”
(13)Device condition after a successful calibration
The settings return to the conditions that existed
before the calibration, measurements are
terminated, and previous measured data are
invalidated.
(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 16.2.13, “Common Commands.”
(17)Size of storage area for protected user data for
PUD and *PUD?
*PUD and *PUD? are not supported.
The GP-IB interface of the instrument conforms to the
IEEE 488.2-1992 Standard. This standard specifies
that the following 23 points be stated in the document.
This section describes these points.
(1)Of the IEEE 488.1 interface functions, the
subsets that are supported
See “GP-IB Interface Specifications” on page 13-3.
(2)The operation of the device when it is assigned
an address outside the 0 to 30 range
The GS610 does not allow assignment to an
address other than 0 to 30.
(3)Reaction of the device when the user changes
the address
The address change is detected when the address
is set on the GP-IB Address menu (see section
13.4). 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.
The settings selected in section 11.3, “Selecting
the Settings Applied at Power ON.” If you issue
the RST common command, the GS610 always
returns to the factory default settings.
(5)Message exchange options
(a) Input buffer size
64 KB.
(b)Queries that return multiple response
messages
See the example of the commands given in
section 16.2.
(c) Queries that create response data when the
command syntax is being analyzed
Every query generates a response data when
analysis of the syntax is completed.
(d)Queries that create response data during
reception
No query generates response data when the
query is received by the controller.
(e) Commands that have parameters that restrict
one another
See the example of the commands given in
section 16.2.
