2.4.2 My Listen Address
(MLA)
When the
Digital488
is addressed to listen in the
F0
through
F4
format, it accepts characters from the active talker and interprets these
characters as commands and command parameters. These commands are
explained in Section 3.
In the high speed binary format (
F5
), the command interpreter is
disabled. The
Digital488
treats all bytes received as data to be output to the
Digital I/O ports. Each time it receives five bytes or detects EOI it pulses the
Data Strobe
for approximately 15 microseconds. Data is expected in a
PORT5, PORT4, PORT3, PORT2, PORT1 sequence.
If only two bytes are received, with EOI asserted on the second byte,
the
Digital488
will update PORT5 with the first byte received, PORT4 with
the second and pulse the
Data Strobe
. Since the interface treats all received
characters as data, the
Status
(
Un
) command will not be recognized.
2.4.3 Device Clear
(DCL and SDC)
In the
F0
thru
F4
formats, Device Clear resets the
Digital488
to
power on defaults and pulses the
Clear
output line for approximately 50
microseconds.
In the high speed binary format (
F5
), it enables the command
interpreter and changes the format to
F0
. All other parameters remain
unchanged. In addition, the
Clear
output line is not pulsed by DCL or SDC
when the interface is in
F5
. This is the only programmable method to exit the
F5
format.
2.4.4 Group Execute Trigger
(GET)
When the
Digital488
recognizes a GET, it pulses the
Trigger
output
line for approximately 50 microseconds.
