Agilent Technologies E1301B, E1300B DIAGnostic INTerruptACTivate, Boolean OFF on None

DIAGnostic :INTerrupt:ACTivate

:INTerrupt:ACTivate	DIAGnostic:INTerrupt:ACTivate < mode>		enables an interrupt on the VXI
	backplane interrupt line specified by DIAG:INT:SET[n] to be acknowledged.
Parameters
	Parameter	Parameter	Range of	Default
	Name	Type	Values	Units
	m ode	boolean	0 1 OFF ON	none
Comments	• When an interrupt occurs and has been acknowledged, the response is
	read with the DIAGnostic:INTerrupt:RESPonse? command.

•If an interrupt occurs on a VXIbus backplane interrupt line and the interrupt acknowledgement has not been enabled, there is no interrupt acknowledgement response. The interrupt will be held off until the interrupt acknowledge is enabled by either the DIAG:INT:ACT command or DIAG:INT:RESP? command.

•ON or 1 enable interrupt acknowledgement. OFF or 0 disables interrupt acknowledgement.

•Bit 8 in the Operation Status register can be used to indicate when an interrupt has been acknowledged. See chapter 6 for more details about this register.

•Interrupt acknowledgement must be re-enabled every time an interrupt is acknowledged

•Related Commands: DIAG:INT:PRIority[n], DIAG:INT:RESP?, DIAG:INT:SET[n]

•*RST Condition: DIAG:INT:ACTivate OFF (for all lines)

Example Enable an Interrupt Acknowledgement on Line 2.

DIAG:INT:SET2	Set up interrupt line 2
DIAG:INT:ACT ON	Enable interrupt to be
	acknowledged

:INTerrupt:SETup[n] DIAGnostic:INTerrupt:SETup[n] < mode> specifies that an interrupt on VXI backplane interrupt line [n] will be serviced by the System Instrument service routine (DIAGnostic:INTerrupt commands) rather than the operating system service routine.

Parameters	Parameter		Parameter	Range of	Default
		Name	Type	Values	Units
		mode	boolean	0 1 OFF ON	none
Comments	•	… SETup1 through … SETup7 specify the VXI interrupt lines 1 through 7.
	•	Sending SETup without an [n] value specifies VXI interrupt line 1.
