Abstract

Defines set of formats and codes used by devices connected via IEEE 488.1 bus. Also defines communication protocols to effect application independent device-dependent message exchanges and covers common commands and characteristics in instrument systems. Coverage includes system considerations, device compliance criteria, message exchange control protocol, device listening formats, device talking elements, message data coding, automatic system configuration, controller compliance criteria, and common controller protocols. Also gives detailed appendixes.
