IEEE 488 INTERFACE
Figure 3-4. IEEE-488 Connector Location
NOTE
The IEEE-488 bus is limite~d to a maximum oft I5
devices, including the controller. The madmum
cable length is 20 meters, or 2 meters times the
number of devices, which ever is less. Failure to
observe these limits may result in erratic bus
operation.
Custom cables may be constructed by using the infoqna-~~
tion in Table 3-2 and Figure 3-5. Table 3-2 lists the contact
assignments for the bus, and Figure 3-5 shows the contact
CMfiglX&iO*.
CAUTION
IEEE-488 common is connected to digital com-
mon. Maximum voltage between digital com-
mon and earth ground is 30V.

3.4 INTERFACE FUNCTION CODES
The interface function codes, which are part of the
IEEE488 standards, define an instrument's ability to sup-
port various interface functions, and they should not be
confused with prograrmning commands found elsewhere
in this manual. Interface function codes for the Model 199
are listed in Table 3-3 and are listed for convenience on the
rear panel adjacent to the IEEE-488 connector. The codes
define Model 199 capabilities as follows:
SH (Source Handshake)-SHl defines the ability of the
Model 199 to properly handshake data or command bytes
when the unit is acting as a source.
AH (Acceptor Handshake)-AH1 d&es the ability of the
Model 199 to properly handshake the bus when it is ac-
ting as an acceptor of data or commands.
