GPIB Subsets
This instrument contains the following IEEE 488.1 subsets:
Source Handshake
Acceptor Handshake
Talker
Listener
Service Request
Remote Local
Parallel Poll
Device Clear
Device Trigger
Controller
Electrical Interface
*
Although no Device Trigger capability is included, the GET message will not cause a
command error unless its position in the input stream dictates that it should; e.g. buried
inside a <PROGRAM MESSAGE UNIT>.

GPIB Parallel Poll
The power supplies offer complete parallel poll capabilities. The Parallel Poll Enable Register is
set to specify which bits in the Status Byte Register are to be used to form the
