RS-232↔IEEE 488 INTERFACE CONVERTER

5.5 Use of Serial and Bus Terminators

The interface converter can be configured to provide RS-232-to-IEEE-488 and

IEEE-488-to-RS-232 terminator substitution. This is useful when interfacing a

serial device that only issues carriage return [CR] as an output terminator to

an IEEE controller that expects a carriage return followed by a line feed

[CR-LF].

In this previous example, the serial terminator should be selected for CR

Only while the IEEE terminator is set to CR-LF. When a serial CR character is

received it is discarded and substituted with an IEEE CR followed by an IEEE

LF. In the IEEE to serial direction, the IEEE CR is unconditionally discarded.

Upon receipt of the IEEE LF a serial CR is substituted.

The interface converter can be made totally data-transparent by setting both

the serial and IEEE terminators to be CR Only or LF Only. The choice of

appropriate terminators may be determined by inspection of the serial device

and IEEE controller’s instruction manuals. See Chapter 3 of this manual for

instructions on selecting the interface converter’s serial and bus terminals.

5.6 IEEE 488 Bus Implementation

The interface converter implements many of the capabilities defined by the

IEEE 488 1978 specification. These are discussed in the following sections.

The interface converter does not support or respond to these bus uniline

and multiline commands:

Remote Enable (REN)

Go to Local (GTL)

Group Execute Trigger (GET)

Local Lockout (LLO)

Take Control (TCT)

Parallel Poll (PP)

Parallel Poll Configure (PPC)

Parallel Poll Unconfigure (PPU)

Parallel Poll Disable (PPD)
