Appendix C

IEEE-488.2 Devise Documentation Requirements

Introduction

Section 4.9 of the IEEE Standard 488.2-1987 states: "All devices shall supply information to the user about how the device has implemented this standard." (In this context, "device" means the Fluke 2620A Hydra Series II Data Acquisition Unit. The Fluke Hydra Series II Data Logger cannot be equipped for IEEE-488 operation.) The information in Appendix C is provided in compliance with this requirement.

Implementation of IEEE Standard 488.2-1987

Items 1-23 below correspond to the specific items of information required by Section 4.9, "Device Documentation Requirements", of the Standard. The information supplied by Fluke in response is italicized. (Throughout Appendix C, the word "Section" refers to the section[s] in the Standard, not this manual.)

1.A list of IEEE 488.2 Interface Function subsets implemented, Section 5.

IEEE-488.1 interface functions implemented in the Fluke Data Acquisition Unit are listed under "IEEE-488" capability codes in Appendix A.

2.A description of device behavior when the address is set outside the range 0-30, Section 5.2.

It is not possible to set the Fluke Data Acquisition Unit address outside the specified range.

3.A description of when a user initiated address change is recognized by the device.

An address change is recognized when set via the IEEE setup menu, which is entered by pressing COMM ([sft] [lst]). This address will be used until it is changed. The address change is recognized after ENTER is pressed to accept the address shown on the display.

4.A description of the device setting at power-on, Section 5.12. Any commands which modify the power-on settings shall also be included.

The initial power-up device setting is: Channels 0 - 20:OFF.
