BUS COMMANDS
Commands associated with the IEEE-488 bus can be
grouped into the following three general categories. Refer
to Table C-l.
IJniIine CommandsThese commands are asserted by set-
ting the associated bus line true. For example, to assert
REN (Remote Enable), the REN line would be set low
&W.
MultiIine Commands-General bus commands which are
sent over the data lines with the ATN line true.
Device-dependent Commands-Commtids whose mean-
ings depend on the device in question. These commands
are transmitted via the data lines while ATN is false.
