Appendix 3 Overview Of Ieee 488.2-1992 - YOKOGAWA TA520 User Manual

Appendix 3 Overview of IEEE 488.2-
1992
The GP-IB interface provided with this instrument
conforms to IEEE 488.2-1992. This standard requires
the following 23 points be stated in this document. This
appendix describes these points.
(1)Subsets supported by IEEE 488.1 interface
functions
Refer to the specifications on page 1-3.
(2)Operation of device when the device is assigned
to an address other than one of the addresses 0
to 30
This instrument does not allow assignment to an
address other than 0 to 30.
(3)Reaction when the user initializes address
settings.
Change of the current address is acknowledged
when a new address is set using the UTILITY key
menu (GP-IB menu). The newly set address is valid
until another new address is set.
(4)Device set-up at power ON. Commands which
can be used at power ON
Basically, the previous settings (i.e. the settings
which were valid when power was turned OFF) are
valid.
All commands are available at power ON.
(5)Message transmission options
(a) Input buffer size and operation
The input buffer ' s capacity is 1024 bytes.
(b) Types of queries which return multiple
response messages
Refer to the examples of each command in
Chapter 3.
(c) Types of queries which generate response
data during analysis of the syntax
Every query generates response data when
analysis of the syntax is performed.
(d) Types of queries which generate response
data during reception
No query generates response data when it is
received by the controller.
(e) Types of commands which have pairs of
parameters.
Refer to the examples of each command in
Chapter 3.

(6)List of function elements which configure
commands used for the device. All those which
are included in elements of composite
command program headers
Refer to Chapter 2 and 3.
(7)Buffer size that affects the transmission of block
data
The buffer size of the block data is 64 KB.
(8)List of program data elements which can be
used in equations and nesting limit
Cannot be used.
(9)Syntax of response data to queries
Refer to the examples of each command in Chapter
3.
(10) Communication between devices that does not
follow the response syntax
There are none.
(11)Size of data block of response data
0 to 128004 bytes
(12)List of supported common commands
Refer to 3.24 Common Command Group.
(13)Condition of device when calibration is
successfully completed
Same state as before calibration. Measuring ended,
the datas before calibration are invalid datas.
(14)Maximum length of block data which can be
used for definition of trigger macro when
used
*DDT is not supported.
(15)Maximum length of macro label if macro
definition is used; maximum length of block data
which can be used for definition of macro;
processing when recursion is used in definition of
macro
Macro functions are not supported.
(16)Response to *IDN?
Refer to 3.24 Common Command Group.
