• Selected Device Clear (SDC): In the F0 through F4 formats, Device Clear resets the Digital488/80A to
its power on default state, and pulses the Clear output line for approximately 50 microseconds.
If either channel is in the high-speed binary data format (F5), a DCL or SDC to either channel enables
the command interpreter on the channel in the
F5 mode, and then changes the format to F0. All other
parameters remain unchanged. In addition, the Clear output line is not pulsed by
DCL or SDC when
either channel is in the
F5 mode. This is the only programmable method to exit the F5 format.
• Serial Poll Disable (
SPD): Disables the Digital488/80A from responding to Serial Polls by the
controller.
• Serial Poll Enable (
SPE): When Serial Poll Enabled, the Digital488/80A sets itself to respond to a
Serial Poll with its Serial Poll Status byte if addressed to Talk. When the Serial Poll byte is accepted
by the controller, any pending
SRQs are cleared. The Digital488/80A will continue to try to output its
Serial Poll response until it is Serial Poll Disabled by the controller.
• Unlisten (
UNL): UNL places the Digital488/80A in the Listener Idle State.
• Untalk (
UNT): UNT places the Digital488/80A in the Talker Idle State.
Bus Addresses
The IEEE 488 interface standard permits up to 15 devices to be configured within one system. Each of
these devices must have a unique address to avoid confusion. In a similar fashion, every building in town
has a unique address to prevent one home from receiving another home's mail. Exactly how each device's
address is set is specific to the product's manufacturer. Some are set by DIP switches in hardware, others
by software. To determine how to set the Digital488/80A addresses, refer to Chapter 2: Digital488/80A
Setup.
IEEE 488 bus addresses are sent with bus (multiline) commands from the Active Controller. These
commands include My Listen Address (
MLA), My Talk Address (MTA), Talk Address Group (TAG), and
Listen Address Group (
LAG).
Bus Terminators
The factory default setting for the Digital488/80A output terminating character is Carriage Return, Line
Feed (
CR LF). If necessary, it can be changed using the Terminator (Y) command. To save the new
setting as the power-up default, it must be saved with the Save Configuration (
S) command. Then this new
setting can be loaded with the Recall Configuration (
O) command. For more information on these
commands, refer to Chapter 6: Digital488/80A Commands.
The only input terminating character accepted by the Digital488/80A is the Execute (
X) command. All
other input terminators are ignored.
