Interface Functions
Multiline Message Control Functions. The Acceptor Handshake, Source Handshake, Listener, and Talker functions are implemented by the interface circuits of the power supply and the controller and require no action by the user. The LSN or TLK indicators turn on when the power supply is addressed to listen or talk. The talker function includes serial poll, see below
