GPIB Subsets
This instrument contains the following IEEE 488.1 subsets:

empty then the

GPIB Parallel Poll
Complete parallel poll capabilities are offered on this instrument. The Parallel Poll Enable Register
is set to specify which bits in the Status Byte Register are to be used to form the

the result is zero then the value of
The instrument must also be configured so that the value of

Poll Configure command (PPC) followed by a Parallel Poll Enable command (PPE). The bits in the
PPE command are shown below:
