Name

Description

 

 

 

1-4

DIO 1 through DIO 4

Data Input/Output. Bits are HIGH when the data is logical 0 and LOW when the

data is logical 1.

 

 

 

 

 

5

EOI

End or Identify. A low-true state indicates that the last byte of a multi byte

message has been placed on the line.

 

 

 

 

Data Valid. A low-true state indicates that the talker has (1) sensed that NRFD

6

DAV

is LOW, (2) placed a byte of data on the bus, and (3) waited an appropriate

 

 

length of time for the data to settle.

 

 

 

7

NRFD

Not Ready For Data. A high-true state indicates that valid data has not yet

been accepted by a listener.

 

 

 

 

 

8

NDAC

Not Data Accepted. A low-true state indicates that the current data byte has

been accepted for internal processing by a listener.

 

 

9

IFC

Interface Clear. A low-true state places all bus instruments in a known state—

such as, unaddressed to talk, unaddressed to listen, and service request idle.

 

 

 

 

 

10

SRQ

Service Request. A low-true state indicates that a bus instrument needs

service from the controller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attention. A low-true state enables the controller to respond to both its own

11

ATN

listen/talk address and to appropriate interface messages—such as, device

 

 

clear and serial poll.

12

Shield

Ground Point.

 

 

 

13-16

DIO 5 through DIO 8

Data Input/Output. Bits are high with the data is logical 0 and LOW when the

data is logical 1.

 

 

 

 

 

17

REN

Remote Enable. A low-true state enables bus instruments to be operated

remotely, when addressed.

 

 

18 to

GND

Logic ground.
